Und so der Gerechte kaum erhalten wird, wo will der Gottlose und Sünder erscheinen?
Y si el justo con dificultad se salva; ¿a dónde aparecerá el infiel y el pecador?
Y «Si el justo se salva con dificultad, ¿dónde aparecerán el impío y el pecador?».
Et si le juste se sauve avec peine, que deviendront l'impie et le pécheur?
E se il giusto è appena salvato, dove comparirà l’empio e il peccatore?
E, se o justo apenas se salva, onde aparecerá o ímpio e o pecador?
「若是義人還僅僅得救, 不虔敬和犯罪的人將有何地可站呢?」
