Sei ferne von falschen Sachen. Den Unschuldigen und Gerechten sollst du nicht erwürgen; denn ich lasse den Gottlosen nicht Recht haben.
De palabra de mentira te alejarás, y no matarás al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificaré al impío.
Aléjate de toda acusación falsa. No mates al inocente ni al justo, porque yo no absolveré al malvado.
Tu ne prononceras point de sentence inique, et tu ne feras point mourir l'innocent et le juste; car je n'absoudrai point le coupable.
Allontanati dal parlar falso; e non far morir l’innocente nè il giusto; perciocchè io non assolverò l’empio.
De palavras de falsidade te afastarás, e não matarás o inocente e o justo; porque não justificarei o ímpio.
當遠離誣告的事。不可殺害無辜和義人,因我必不以惡人為義。
