Ezekiel 3:20Wrench

BACK NEXT
Similarly, when a just man [unrepentantly] veers from his righteousness to commit evil, I lay a stumbling-block before him.
So he dies. All the righteous acts he ever did wind up forgotten.
If you, 😇, fail to shine [my word-light to him], he perishes in his sin.
Then I find his blood on your hand[s].
