[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.	If thou forbear to deliver [them that are] drawn unto death, and [those that are] ready to be slain;	If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider [it]? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth [not] he know [it]? and shall [not] he render to [every] man according to his works?
