The word of the Lord is:

The word of the Lord is:

 

 

The word of the Lord is:

"When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,'

and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him

from his wicked way to save his life,

that wicked person will die for his sin,

and I will hold you accountable for his blood.

But if you warn the wicked

and he does not turn from his wickedness and sin,

he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.

If a righteous person turns from righteousness and commits sin,

I will put a stumbling block before him;

he will die since you did not warn him.

His righteous acts will not be remembered,

and I will hold you accountable for his death.

But if you warn the righteous person not to sin and he does not sin,

he will surely live because he took warning,

and you will have saved yourself

(Ezekiel 3:18-21).
