Warning for Ezekiel

“Now as for you, Son of Man, I’ve established you as a sentinel for the house of Israel. So whenever you hear a message from me,[a] you are to warn the people[b] from me. If I should say to a certain wicked person, ‘You wicked man, you’re certainly about to die,’ but you don’t warn him to turn from his wicked behavior,[c] he’ll die in his guilt, but I’ll seek retribution for his bloodshed from you.[d] However, if you warn the wicked to turn from his behavior[e] and he does not do so, he will die in his guilt, and you will have saved yourself.”[f]
