Ezekiel 3:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ “Human, I now make you a watchman for Israel. Any time you hear a word from my mouth, warn them for me. ¹⁸ When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ you must warn them so they may live. If you don’t speak out to warn the wicked to stop their evil ways, they will die in their sin. But I will hold you responsible for their death. ¹⁹ If you warn the wicked and they do not turn from their wickedness or their evil ways, they will die because of their sin. But you will have saved your life.
