Ezekiel3:18
18 When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely dye, and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his way to save his life : the same wicked man shall dye in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Either by the menaces of my Law, or by motion of my Spirit stirring thee up to reprove and warn.
Any wicked one whatever rich or poor, mean or mighty.
Such courses will certainly end in death, and in damnation if not left.
Frequently and with repeated monitions, as the word signifies, and as the Apostle, Acts 20.31. this to those that will hearken.
Some will prophanely scoffe and deride, yet speak to warn them, till it do appear they are such as will turn again and rent you. Or else 'tis the same thing repeated.
Men must be told of their own sins these are their dangers.
That thou mayst preserve his Life, his Soul, and recall him at once from Sin and Death.
The man who is not warned by thee will certainly dye in his sin, the sinners ignorance will not be sufficient to prevent his death, but thy not admonishing him will involve thee also in guilt and death.
I will punish thee, who possibly mightest have saved by warning, however oughtest to have warned.
