24:10 你在患難之日若膽怯,你的力量就微小。
24:11 人被拉到死地,你要解救;人將被殺,你須攔阻。
24:12 你若說:這事我未曾知道,那衡量人心的豈不明白嗎?保守你命的豈不知道嗎?他豈不按各人所行的報應各人嗎?

10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

「害怕」常常是帶給人生許多的噩運,使人因為恐懼而不知如何做正確的判斷。正如這裡說的,「人被拉到死地,你要解救;人將被殺,你須攔阻」,是正確的做法。但是,因為「膽怯」真的造成「力量就微小」,就無法拯救人於非命!
也因此就牽扯出後面的議題:「你若說:這事我未曾知道,那衡量人心的豈不明白嗎?保守你命的豈不知道嗎?他豈不按各人所行的報應各人嗎?」
的確,上帝不會讓我們以「害怕」為理由,就不追究我們本該救人、卻沒有救人的事情。所以,我們的人生不可以被「害怕」來破壞,要用勇敢的心來面對,做正確的決定!
