When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not
warning, nor speakest to
warn the wicked from
his wicked way, to save
his life; the same wicked man shall die in
his iniquity; but
his blood will I require at thine hand.
If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not
warn him or speak out to
warn him from
his wicked way to save
his life, that wicked man will die in
his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for
his blood.
Yet if thou
warn the wicked, and he turn not from
his wickedness, nor from
his wicked way, he shall die in
his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
But if you
warn a wicked man and he does not turn from
his wickedness and
his wicked way, he will die in
his iniquity, but you will have saved
yourself.

warning, he shall die in
his sin, and

his blood will I require at thine hand.

his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a
stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not
warn him, he will die in
his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for
his blood.

revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve
his life.
But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them
mourning, every one for

his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their
detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

His waist down
His appearance was like fire, and from
His waist up He was as bright as the

his censer in
his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

shrine of
his own
idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has
forsaken the land.’”
