Ezekiel 3:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ A righteous person may stop doing things that are right. He may start to do bad things. Then I will put him in danger. He will die as punishment for his sins. I will not remember the good things that he did. But if you have not warned him of the danger, I will say that you are guilty. It is as if you killed him yourself. ²¹ But if you do warn that righteous person to stop doing bad things, he may agree. Then he will continue to live, because you warned him. You also will have saved your own life.’

²² The Lord continued to give me strength. He said to me, ‘Stand up now! Go out into the valley and I will speak to you there.’
