Ezekiel 3:16-18

New International Version - UK

Ezekiel’s task as watchman

¹⁶ At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁷ ‘Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. ¹⁸ When I say to a wicked person, “You will surely die,” and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for^[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
