If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not give to every man according to his work?

ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૪:૧૨
જો તું કહે કે, “અમે તો એ જાણતા નહોતા.” તો જે અંત:કરણોની ચકાસણી કરે છે તે શું તેનો વિચાર કરશે નહિ? અને જે તારા જીવનો રક્ષક છે તે શું નથી જાણતો? અને શું તે દરેક માણસને તેની કરણી પ્રમાણે ફળ આપશે નહિ?
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २४:१२
यदि तू कहे, कि देख मैं इसको जानता न था, तो क्या मन का जाँचनेवाला इसे नहीं समझता? और क्या तेरे प्राणों का रक्षक इसे नहीं जानता? और क्या वह हर एक मनुष्य के काम का फल उसे न देगा? (मत्ती 16:27, रोम. 2:6, प्रका. 2:23, प्रका. 22:12)

In context

10If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.

11Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

12If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not give to every man according to his work?

13My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;

14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.
