If you go slack on the day of trouble, your strength is small indeed.
In context
8Whoever plots to do harm—men will call him a schemer. 9The scheming of folly is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to men. 10If you go slack on the day of trouble, your strength is small indeed. 11Rescue those being taken off to death; hold back those staggering to the slaughter. 12If you say, “We knew nothing of this”—does not the one who weighs hearts understand? Does not the one who guards your life know? And will he not repay a man for what he has done?
