⁷ But the Lord said to me,

¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(A)“Go into all the world and ^(B)proclaim the gospel to ^(C)the whole creation. ^16 (D)Whoever believes and is ^(E)baptized ^(F)will be saved, but ^(G)whoever ^(H)does not believe will be condemned.

²⁰ teaching them ^(A)to observe all that ^(B)I have commanded you. And behold, ^(C)I am with you always, to ^(D)the end of the age.”

¹³ But Micaiah said, ^(A)“As the Lord lives, ^(B)what my God says, that I will speak.”

^20 (A)And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise, go with them; ^(B)but only do what I tell you.”

²⁷ for ^(A)I did not shrink from declaring to you ^(B)the whole counsel of God.

^27 (A)But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ^(B)‘Thus says the Lord God.’ ^(C)He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.

^17 (A)“Son of man, ^(B)I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall ^(C)give them warning from me. ^18 (D)If I say to the wicked, ^(E)‘You shall surely die,’ ^(F)and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person ^(G)shall die for^[a] his iniquity, ^(H)but his blood I will require at your hand. ^19 (I)But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, ^(J)but you ^(K)will have delivered your soul. ^20 (L)Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, ^(M)and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. ^(N)Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, ^(O)and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, ^(P)but his blood I will require at your hand. ²¹ But if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and you will have delivered your soul.”

³ And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to ^(A)nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. ^(B)They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. ⁴ The descendants also are ^(C)impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ ⁵ And ^(D)whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are ^(E)a rebellious house) ^(F)they will know that a prophet has been among them.
