• {v.11-12} Muenscher says, “When a criminal was anciently led to execution, a crier went before, who proclaimed the crime of which he had been convicted, and called upon any one who could say anything in behalf of the condemned culprit, to come forward; in which case, he was led back to the tribunal and the cause was re-heard.” To have the information, which, if declared, would save the condemned man, but to selfishly withhold it and allow him to be slain, would be to take common ground with Cain, and ask, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” But the great Judge of all, who ponders the heart, would be witness against the one who acted so perfidiously and would assuredly render accordingly. (“Proverbs Twenty-Four” by H.A. Ironside)
