The Word of the Lord came to Ezekiel:
17 Son of man,
I have made you a Watchman
For the House of Israel;
So hear the Word I Speak
And Give them Warning from Me.
18 When I say to Wicked man,
‘You will surely Die,’
And You do not Warn him
Or Speak out to Dissuade him
From his Evil Ways
In order to Save his Life,
That Wicked man will Die for his Sin,
And I will hold You Accountable for his Blood.
19 But if You do Warn the Wicked man
And he does not Turn from his Wickedness
Or from his Evil Ways,
He will Die for his Sin;
But You will have Saved Yourself.
20 Again, when a righteous man
Turns from his Righteousness
And does Evil,
And I put a Stumbling Block before him,
He will Die.
Since You did not Warn him,
He will Die for his Sin.
The Righteous things he did
Will not be Remembered,
And I will hold You Accountable for his Blood.
21 But if you do warn the Righteous man
Not to Sin
And he does not Sin,
He will surely Live
Because he took Warning,
And You will have Saved Yourself.
(Ezekiel 3:17-21, NIV)
Today, those of us
Who Know the Lord and His Word,
Are Responsible to Warn the Wicked
And the Righteous,
That their Sin will lead them to their Death.
Not to do so,
Imperils our own Salvation.
