Ezekiel 3:18-20

A Watchman for Israel

18 w If I say to the wicked, x 'You shall surely die,' v and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person y shall die for 1 his iniquity, z but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 a But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, b but you c will have delivered your soul. 20 d Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, e and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. v Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, d and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, z but his blood I will require at your hand.
