What happens if you get stabbed with a knife in the liver?

It also extends across the middle of the upper abdomen and part way into the left upper abdomen. It is an irregularly shaped, dome-like solid structure The liver consists of two main parts (a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe) and two minor lobes. During inspiration, the liver is pushed down by the diaphragm and the lower edge of the liver descends below the margin of the lowest rib (costal margin).

The liver is located under the diaphragm, with its greater mass on it's right side and extending just a little bit more to the left from the middline.
In other words:
