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.

21 Nevertheless, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and that he doth not sin, he shall live because he is admonished: also thou hast delivered thy soul.

22 And the [d]hand of the Lord was there upon me, and he said unto me, Arise, and go into the [e]field, and I will there talk with thee.
