Context of Proverbs 24:9
7Wisdom is too exalted for a fool, He does not open his mouth in the gate. 8One who plans to do evil, Men will call a schemer. The devising of folly is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men. 10If you are slack in the day of distress, Your strength is limited. 11Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
