Men når den rettferdige vender bort fra sin rettferdighet, og begår urett, og gjør ifølge alle de styggedommer den urettferdige gjør, skal han leve? Ingen av hans rettferdige gjerninger han har gjort skal bli husket: i sin overtredelse han har gjort, og i sin synd han har syndet, i dem skal han dø.
But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
