Yechezkel 3:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ And it came to pass at the end of shivat yamim, that the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,

¹⁷ Ben Adam, I have made thee a tzofeh (watchman) unto the Bais Yisroel; therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.

¹⁸ When I say unto the rasha, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the rasha from his derech harasha’ah, to save his life; the same rasha shall die in his avon; but I will hold accountable thine yad for his dahm.
