Ezekiel 3:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ “Son of Man,” he said,^[a] “I’ve appointed you to be a watchman^[b] over the house of Israel. Therefore when you hear a message that comes from me, you are to warn them for me.

¹⁸ “So when I say to a wicked person, ‘You’re about to die,’ if you don’t warn or instruct that wicked person that his behavior^[c] is wicked so he can live, that wicked person will die in his sin, but I’ll hold you responsible for his death.^{[d] 19} If you warn the wicked person, and he doesn’t repent of his wickedness or of his wicked behavior,^[e] he’ll die in his sin, but you will have saved your own life.
