If you're trying to hammer home a point for emphasis, the first sentence sounds better. The second sentence also works, but is not as strong. So I guess it depends on the context in which you're using it. Both are grammatically correct, but the first one makes it sound like there will be serious consequences. You also could simply say, "You will be punished if you harm "sb."

You shall be wounded for harming SB.
That's what I think. But I would add more description to it, like, 'You shall be tortuously wounded for even slightly harming SB' or something. Assuming SB are initials, of course.

Perhaps "If you harm sb, you will be punished."

#2 sounds better, 'cos it's shorter and crisp! #1 may be more effective, more emphatic! Context will decide which one to actually use, the short one or the emphatic one!
