Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Warnst du aber den Gottlosen vor seinem Wesen, daß er sich davon bekehre, und er will sich nicht von seinem Wesen bekehren, so wird er um seiner Sünde sterben, und du hast deine Seele errettet.
Y si tú avisares al impío de su camino para que de él se aparte, y él no se apartare de su camino, por su pecado morirá él, y tú libraste tu vida.
Pero si tú adviertes al malvado para que se aparte de su camino y él no se aparta de su camino, morirá por su culpa, pero tú habrás salvado tu vida.
Mais si tu avertis le méchant pour le détourner de sa voie, et qu'il ne s'en détourne pas, il mourra dans son iniquité, et toi tu sauveras ton âme.
Ma se tu ammonisci l’empio ch’egli si converta dalla sua via, ed egli non se ne converte, egli morrà per la sua iniquità; ma tu avrai scampata l’anima tua
Mas, se advertires o ímpio do seu caminho, para que dele se converta, e ele não se converter do seu caminho, ele morrerá na sua iniqüidade; mas tu livraste a tua alma.
但是你,你若警戒惡人,叫他離棄所行的道,他仍不轉離,他必因自己的罪孽而死,你卻救了自己的命。」
