Verse 18
Ezekiel 3:18
Free Bible Version
18
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.

English Translation
When I say to the wicked, "You will surely die," and you do not warn him, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, he is a wicked man; in his iniquity he shall die, and I will require his blood at your hand.
