* And it came to pass at the end of seven days , that the word of the LORD came unto me , saying , * Son of man , I have made you a watchman unto the house of Israel : therefore hear the word at my mouth , and give them warning from me . * When I say unto the wicked , You shall surely die ; and you give him not warning , nor speak 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 yours hand . * Yet if you warn the wicked , and he turn not from his wickedness , nor from his wicked way , he shall die in his iniquity ; but you have delivered your soul . * Again , When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness , and commit iniquity , and I lay a stumbling-block before him , he shall die : because you have not given him warning , he shall die in his sin , and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered ; but his blood will I require at yours hand . * Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man , that the righteous sin not , and he does not sin , he shall surely live , because he is warned ; also you have delivered your soul . * And the hand of the LORD was there upon me ; and he said unto me , Arise , go forth into the plain , and I will there talk with you . * Then I arose , and went forth into the plain : and , behold , the glory of the LORD stood there , as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar : and I fell on my face . * Then the spirit entered into me , and set me upon my feet , and spoke with me , and said unto me , Go , shut yourself within yours house . * But you , O son of man , behold , they shall put bands upon you , and shall bind you with them , and you shall not go out among them : * And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth , that you shall be dumb , and shall not be to them a reprover : for they are a rebellious house . * But when I speak with you , I will open your mouth , and you shall say unto them , Thus says the Lord GOD ; He that hears , let him hear ; and he that forbears , let him forbear : for they are a rebellious house .
