Ezekiel 3:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ “Or suppose a godly person turns away from their godliness and does what is evil. And suppose I put something in their way that will trip them up. Then they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The godly things that person did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for their death. ²¹ But suppose you do warn a godly person not to sin. And they do not sin. Then you can be sure that they will live because they listened to your warning. And you will have saved yourself.”

²² The power of the Lord was on me. He said, “Get up. Go out to the plain. I will speak to you there.”
