Ezekiel 3:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them my warning. ¹⁸ If I say to a wicked man, “You will surely die,” and you fail to warn him about this or do not advise him to cease his wicked conduct and thereby save his life, the wicked man will die because of his iniquity, but I will hold you responsible for his death. ¹⁹ But if you have warned him and he continues to persist in his evil ways, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved your life.
