Ezekiel 3:16-24

16Now at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me:

17“Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, give them a warning from me.

18If I say to the wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him — you don’t speak out to warn him about his wicked way in order to save his life — that wicked person will die for his iniquity. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood.

19But if you warn a wicked person and he does not turn from his wickedness or his wicked way, he will die for his iniquity, but you will have rescued yourself.

20Now if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I put a stumbling block in front of him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die because of his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood.

21But if you warn the righteous person that he should not sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he listened to your warning, and you will have rescued yourself.”

22The hand of the Lord was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and I will speak with you there.”

23So I got up and went out to the plain. The Lord’s glory was present there, like the glory I had seen by the Chebar Canal, and I fell facedown.

24The Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
