A Watchman for Israel

16 ^acAnd at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me: 17 ^ad“Son of man, ^aeI have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall ^afgive them warning from me. 18 ^agIf I say to the wicked, ^ah‘You shall surely die,’ ^aiand you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person ^ajshall die for ^{▼▼Or in; also verses 19, 20} his iniquity, ^albut his blood I will require at your hand. 19 ^amBut if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, ^anbut you ^aowill have delivered your soul. 20 ^apAgain, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, ^aqand I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. ^arBecause you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, ^asand his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, ^atbut his blood I will require at your hand. 21 But if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and you will have delivered your soul.”

Micah 3:8

8 But as for me, ^auI am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob ^avhis transgression
and to Israel his sin.
