¹⁸ When I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live, that wicked person shall die for wrongdoing, but his ^(A)blood I will require from your hand.

²⁴ “But when a righteous person ^(A)turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? ^(B)All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his ^(C)treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.

²⁰ Yet you say, ‘^(A)The way of the Lord is not right.’ I will judge each of you according to his ways, house of Israel.”
