Si tu te retiens pour ne délivrer point ceux qui sont traînés à la mort, et qui sont sur le point d'être tués,
Délivre ceux qui sont traînés à la mort, et qui sont sur le point d'être tués.
Délivre ceux qu'on traîne à la mort, Ceux qu'on va égorger, sauve-les!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If thou forbear to deliver [them that are] drawn unto death,.... Or "taken for or unto death" h, in a violent way; who are taken by thieves and robbers, and used in a barbarous manner, as the man in the parable, whom the priest and Levite took no notice of, and was helped by the good Samaritan; or who are unjustly sentenced and appointed to death by the civil magistrate; if any know their innocency, it becomes them to do all they can to save their lives, by bearing a testimony for them; for "a true witness delivereth souls",
Proverbs 14:25; or by interceding for them, and giving counsel and advice concerning them, or by any lawful way they can; as Reuben delivered Joseph, Jonathan interceded for David, and Ahikam and Ebedmelech for Jeremiah. Life is valuable, and all means should be taken to save it, and to prevent the shedding of innocent blood; and a man should not forbear or spare any cost, or pains, or time, to such service: likewise such as are drawn into snares and temptations, into immorality or heresy, which tend to the ruin of the souls of men, and bring them to eternal death; all proper, methods should be taken to restore such persons, to recover them out of the snare of the devil, which is saving souls from death, and covering a multitude of sins; see 2 Timothy 2:25 James 5:19;
and [those that are] ready to be slain; or i "bending to slaughter"; are within a little of being executed, or put to death, upon a false accusation; for about others that suffer righteously there need not be that concern here pressed, or whose works and ways incline to destruction and lead to it, of which they seem not very far off.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Literally:
“Deliver those that are drawn unto death,
And those who totter to the slaughter - if
Thou withdraw ...â€
i. e., “O withdraw them,†save them from their doom; in contrast to Proverbs 24:10. The structure and meaning are both somewhat obscure; but the sentence is complete in itself, and is not a mere hypothesis concluded in the following verses.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 24:11. If thou forbear to deliver — If thou seest the innocent taken by the hand of lawless power or superstitious zeal, and they are about to be put to death, thou shouldst rise up in their behalf, boldly plead for them, testify to their innocence when thou knowest it; and thus thou wilt not be guilty of blood; which thou wouldst be, if, through any pretense, thou shouldst neglect to save the life of a man unjustly condemned.
