Ezekiel 3:20 Go deeper
← Ezekiel 3 · ← verse 19 · verse 21 →
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. (KJV)
