10 that no innocent blood+ may be spilled in the midst of your land that Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance, and no bloodguilt* has to be upon you.+

26 And now, my lord, as Jehovah is living+ and as your soul is living,+ Jehovah has held you back+ from entering into bloodguilt*+ and having your own hand come to your salvation.*+ And now let your enemies and those seeking injury to my lord become like Naʹbal.+

15 An answer, when mild, turns away rage,+ but a word causing pain makes anger to come up.+

20 know that he who turns a sinner back from the error+ of his way will save his soul from death+ and will cover a multitude of sins.+
