When leaders don't respond as they should

Here is Genesis 34: 5-12, we see Jacob, the father of Dinah who has been raped, does nothing until his sons return, and we will see how he will still do nothing, as his sons take charge.

How often to we stay out of a situation cause we are not sure of ourselves, or scared to respond?  God calls us to respond... but not as they will in this chapter.
