16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,

but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

16 Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;

he who despises his ways will die.

16 Keep the commandments and keep your life;

despising them leads to death.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,

But he who is careless of his ways will die.

16 Those who obey the commands protect themselves,

but those who are careless will die.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;

But he that is careless of his ways shall die.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.

16 Whoever obeys the law preserves his life, 

⸤but⸥ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death. 

16 The one who keeps commands preserves himself;

one who disregards his ways will die.

16 Those who keep the commandment will live;

those who are heedless of their ways will die.

16 He who guards commandments guards his life;

he who is careless of his ways will be killed.

16 Those who obey what they are taught guard their lives.

But those who don’t care how they live will die.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,

But he who is careless of conduct will die.
