Die Gerechtigkeit behütet den Unschuldigen; aber das gottlose Wesen bringt zu Fall den Sünder.
La justicia guarda al de perfecto camino: Mas la impiedad trastornará al pecador.
La justice garde celui dont la voie est intègre, Mais la méchanceté cause la ruine du pécheur.
La giustizia guarda colui che è intiero di via; Ma l’empietà sovverte il peccatore
A justiça guarda ao que é de caminho certo, mas a impiedade transtornará o pecador.
行為純正的,有公義保護; 犯罪的,被罪惡傾覆。
