Ezekiel 3:16-21
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
17 Son of man, I have made thee a [a]watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me
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 [b]righteous man turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a [c]stumbling block before him and he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his [d]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.
