Proverbs 24:11-12 (NIV), emphasizes the responsibility to act in the face of injustice and danger. It calls on us to intervene for those facing harm or death, urging us not to turn a blind eye. It warns that we cannot excuse ourselves with ignorance because God, who sees and knows all, understands the truth of our hearts and actions. He will hold each person accountable for what they have done—or failed to do—when confronted with the suffering of others.
