Ezekiel 3:16-18

Christian Standard Bible

Ezekiel as a Watchman

¹⁶ Now at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me:^{(A) 17} “Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel.^(B) When you hear a word from my mouth, give them a warning from me.^{(C) 18} If I say to the wicked person,^(D) ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him—you don’t speak out to warn him about his wicked way in order to save his life—that wicked person will die for his iniquity. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood.
