Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 3 of Ezekiel. The Spirit lifts Ezekiel and carries him toward the exiles. His ministry develops within the exiled community and begins with a period of silence. God establishes the prophet as a watchman: he must warn the wicked and the righteous, and his responsibility is to communicate the divine warning faithfully.

Wo du aber den Gerechten warnst, daß er nicht sündigen soll, und er sündigt auch nicht, so soll er leben, denn er hat sich warnen lassen; und du hast deine Seele errettet.
Y si al justo amonestares para que el justo no peque, y no pecare, de cierto vivirá, porque fue amonestado; y tú habrás librado tu alma.
Pero si le adviertes al justo para que no peque y él no peca, ciertamente vivirá porque aceptó la advertencia, y tú habrás salvado tu vida».
Mais si tu avertis le juste de ne pas pécher, et qu'il ne pèche pas, il vivra, parce qu'il s'est laissé avertir, et toi, tu sauveras ton âme.
Ma quando tu avrai ammonito il giusto, ch’egli non pecchi, se egli non pecca, per certo egli viverà; perciocchè sarà stato ammonito; e tu avrai scampata l’anima tua
Mas, avisando tu o justo, para que não peque, e ele não pecar, certamente viverá; porque foi avisado; e tu livraste a tua alma.
倘若你警戒義人,使他不犯罪,他就不犯罪;他因領受警戒就必存活,你也救了自己的命。」
