the  house  of  Israel:  so  hear  the  word  at  my
          mouth, and give them warning from me.

          When I say to the wicked, you shall surely die;
          and you do not give him warning, nor speak to
          warn the wicked to turn from his wicked way,

          to save his life; the same wicked man shall die
          in  his  iniquity;  but  his  blood  will  I  require  at

          he has done shall not be remembered; but his
          blood will I require at your hand. Nevertheless,

          if  you  warn  the  righteous  man  that  the
          righteous  sins  not  and  does  not  sin,  he  shall
          surely  live  because  he  is  warned;  also,  you
          have delivered your soul. 5 I have set watchmen
          upon your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never
