(A)So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word at my [a]mouth, and admonish them from me.

When I shall say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt die the death, if thou dost not speak and admonish the wicked of his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquity, but his blood will I [b]require at thine hand.

Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, if he do not turn from his way, he shall die for his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
