^16 (A)Now it happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ¹⁷ “Son of man, I have given you as a ^(B)watchman to the house of Israel; so you will hear a word from My mouth, and you shall ^(C)warn them from Me. ¹⁸ When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his ^(D)blood I will require at your hand. ¹⁹ Yet if you have ^(E)warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have ^(F)delivered yourself. ²⁰ Again, ^(G)when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a ^(H)stumbling block before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. ²¹ However, if you have ^(I)warned ^[a]the righteous man that the righteous should not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself.”
