Proverbs 24:11 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 24.

7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the meeting place.

8 He who plots evil will be called a schemer.

9 A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.

10 If you faint in the day of distress, how small is your strength!

11 Rescue those being led away to death, and restrain those stumbling toward the slaughter.

12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

14 Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.
