20
"If someone truly good starts doing evil and I put him in a dangerous situation, he will die if you do not warn him. He will die because of his sins - I will not remember the good he did - and I will hold you responsible for his death.
18
If I announce that someone evil is going to die but you do not warn him to change his ways so that he can save his life, he will die, still a sinner, but I will hold you responsible for his death.
19
If you do warn an evil man and he doesn't stop sinning, he will die, still a sinner, but your life will be spared.

"If someone truly good starts doing evil and I put him in a dangerous situation, he will die if you do not warn him. He will die because of his sins - I will not remember the good he did - and I will hold you responsible for his death.
21
If you do warn a good man not to sin and he listens to you and doesn't sin, he will stay alive, and your life will also be spared."
22
I felt the powerful presence of the Lord and heard him say to me, "Get up and go out into the valley. I will talk to you there."
