Ezekiel 33:4-9
4then 1someone who hearsH8085 the soundH6963 of the hornH7782 but 2does not takeH2094 warningH2094, and a swordH2719 comesH935 and takesH3947 him away, his 3bloodH1818 will be on his own headH7218. 5He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the hornH7782 but did not takeH2094 warningH2094; his bloodH1818 will be on himself. But had he takenH2094 warningH2094, he would have 4savedH4422 his lifeH5315. 6But ifH3588 the watchmanH6822 seesH7200 the swordH2719 comingH935 and does not blowH8628 the hornH7782 and the peopleH5971 are not warnedH2094, and a swordH2719 comesH935 and takesH3947 a personH5315 from them, he is 5takenH3947 away for his wrongdoingH5771; but I will 6requireH1875 his 7bloodH1818 from the watchman’sH6822 handH3027.’
7“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, I have 89appointedH5414 you as a watchmanH6822 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so you will hearH8085 a 10messageH1697 from My mouthH6310 and giveH2094 them aH2094 11warningH2094 from Me. 8When I sayH559 to the wickedH7563, ‘You wickedH7563 personH7563, you will 12certainlyH4191 dieH4191,’ and you do not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 aboutH4480 his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 personH7563 shall dieH4191 for his wrongdoingH5771, but I will 13requireH1245 his bloodH1818 from your handH3027. 9But ifH3588 you on your partH859 warnH2094 a wickedH7563 personH7563 to turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and he 14does not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he will dieH4191 for his wrongdoingH5771, but you have 15savedH5337 your lifeH5315.
