^{19 Ref} But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.

^{20 Ref} Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

^{21 Ref} But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
