Ezekiel 3:16-21

16Now 1at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17“Son of man, I have appointed you as a 2watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, 3warn them from Me. 18When I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live, that wicked person shall die for wrongdoing, but his 4blood I will require from your hand. 19However if you have 5warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die for wrongdoing, but you have 6saved yourself. 20Again, 7when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, and I place an 8obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require from your hand. 21However, if you have 9warned 10the righteous person that the righteous is not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall certainly live because he took warning; and you have saved yourself.”
