Context Readings

Ezekiel As A Watchman

20 If righteous people turn from living the right way and do wrong, I will make them stumble and they will die. If you do not warn them, they will die because of their sin. The right things they did will not be remembered. I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 21 However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself.” 22 The power of Jehovah came over me. He said: Get up, and go to the plain. I will speak to you there.
