And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.

And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.

Δια τουτο συ, υιε ανθρωπου, ειπε προς τους υιους του λαου σου, Η δικαιοσυνη του δικαιου δεν θελει ελευθερωσει αυτον εν τη ημερα της παραβασεως αυτου, και ο ασεβης δεν θελει πεσει δια την ασεβειαν αυτου, καθ' ην ημεραν επιστρεψη απο της ασεβειας αυτου, και ο δικαιος δεν θελει δυνηθη να ζηση δια την δικαιοσυνην αυτου, καθ' ην ημεραν αμαρτηση.

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
