Proverbs 24:11-12 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
Proverbs 19:21
The human mind may devise many plans,
but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be
established
Isaiah 41:13
For I, the LORD your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you.”
Micah 6:8
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
