Captain Francesco Schettino of the cruise ship Costa Concordia has received a lot of criticism for how he has handled things when the ship he was in charge of ran aground. The media has branded him with the name "Captain Coward" because he would not get back on the ship to facilitate the evacuation, and his reason for leaving the ship in the first place was "he fell into a lifeboat." There are a couple of scriptures that speak directly to this situation.
Proverbs 24:10
If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
Proverbs 20:11
Even small children are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure and upright?
Proverbs 25:19
Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
Proverbs 11:3
The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
Proverbs 19:3
A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the LORD.
