Ezekiel 3:20-22

New English Translation

²⁰ “When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I set an obstacle^[a] before him, he will die. If you have not warned him, he will die for his sin. The righteous deeds he performed will not be considered, but I will hold you accountable for his death. ²¹ However, if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he^[b] does not sin, he will certainly live because he was warned, and you will have saved your own life.”

Isolated and Silenced

²² The hand^[c] of the Lord rested on me there, and he said to me, “Get up, go out to the valley,^[d] and I will speak with you there.”
