18 When I shall say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, and thou givest not him warning, nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may live, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity: but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 Yet, if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.

20 Likewise if a [a]righteous man turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a [b]stumbling block before him and he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his [c]righteous deeds, which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but his blood will I require at thine hand.
