"All that took them captives hold them fast, they refuse to let
them go. Their Redeemer is strong, the Lord of Hosts is His
name; He shall thoroughly plead their cause."--JEREMIAH l. 33,
34.

"Deliver them that are carried away unto death, and those that
are tottering to the slaughter see that thou hold back. If thou
sayest, Behold we knew not this, doth not He that weigheth the
hearts 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?"--PROVERBS xxiv. 11, 12. (R. V.)

"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are
left desolate. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and minister
judgment to the poor and needy."--PROVERBS xxxi. 8, 9. (R. V.)
