Ezekiel 3:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 When I say[a] to the wicked, ‘Surely you will die,’ and you do not warn him and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live,[b] that wicked person will die because of his guilt, and from your hand I will seek his blood. 19 And you, if you do warn the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness and from his wicked way, on account of his guilt he will die, and you yourself will have saved your life.[c] 20 And when the righteous turns from his righteousness[d] and does injustice, and I place[e] a stumbling block before him,[f] he will die, for you did not warn him. Because of his sin he will die, and his righteousness[g] that he did will not be remembered, and his blood I shall seek from your hand.
