Ezekiel 33:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “You, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], are the one I have made a watchman for [^Lthe house of] Israel. If you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them for me. ⁸ Suppose I say to the wicked: ‘Wicked people, you will surely die,’ but you don’t speak to warn the wicked to ·stop doing evil [turn from their ways]. Then they will die ·because they were sinners [for their iniquity], but I will ·punish you [hold you accountable] for their deaths. ⁹ But if you warn the wicked to ·stop doing evil [turn from their ways] and they do not stop, they will die ·because they were sinners [for their iniquity]. But you have saved your life.
