Ezekiel 33:6-16

6But if the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094, and the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them; he is takenH3947 awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771, but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman’sH6822 handH3027.

7So thou, sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and giveH5414 them warning from me. 8When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surely dieH4191, and thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870; that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thy handH3027. 9Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it, and he turnH7725 not from his wayH1870; he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771, but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.

10And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: ThusH3651 ye speak, sayingH559, Our transgressionsH6588 and our sinsH2403 are upon us, and we pine awayH4743 in them; howH349 then can we liveH2421? 11SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2421, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4191 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for whyH4100 will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 12And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the children of thy peopleH5971, The righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall not deliverH5337 him in the dayH3117 of his transgressionH6588; and as for the wickednessH7562 of the wickedH7563, he shall not fall thereby in the dayH3117 that he turneth from his wickednessH7562; neither shall he that is righteousH6662 be ableH3201 to liveH2421 thereby in the dayH3117 that he sinneth. 13WhenH834 I sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surely liveH2421; if he trustH982 to his righteousnessH6666, and commit iniquity, none of his righteousH6662 deeds shall be rememberedH2142; but in his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he dieH4191. 14Again, when I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surely dieH4191; if he turnH7725 from his sinH2403, and do that which is lawful and rightH4941; 15if the wickedH7563 restoreH7725 the pledgeH2258, give again that which he had taken by robberyH1500, walkH1980 in the statutesH2708 of lifeH2416, committing no iniquity; he shall surely liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191. 16None of his sinsH2398 that he hath committed shall be rememberedH2142 against him: he hath done that which is lawful and rightH4941; he shall surely liveH2421.
