shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning,
nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked
way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall
die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require
at thine hand.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from
his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall
die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy
soul.
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his
righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a

done shall not be remembered; but his blood will
I require at thine hand.

bowels; because it is the stumblingblock of their
iniquity.
Ezekiel 17:16,17,18 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in
the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose
oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him
in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company
make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building
forts, to cut off many persons:
Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when,
lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things,
he shall not escape.
Ezekiel 17:19,20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As I
live, surely mine oath that he hath despised and My covenant
that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own
head.
And I will spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken
in My snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will
plead with him there for his trespaass that he hath
trespassed against Me.

have laid a wound under theee: there is none
understanding in him.

knowledge, and they should seek the law at his
mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of
hosts.
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused

before all the people, according as ye have not
kept My ways, but have been partial in the law.
Luke 21:34,35,36 And take heed to yourselves, lest
at any time your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting and drunkennesss, and cares of this
life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

dwell on the face of the whole earth.

shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of Man.

trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto
them:
Romans 11:10,11,12 Let their eyes be darkened that
they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should
fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall
salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to
provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the fall of them be the riches of this world,
and the diminishing of them the riches of the
Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Romans 11:13,14 If by any means I may provoke to
emulation them which are my flesh, and might save
some of them.

of the world, what shall the receiving of them be,
but life from the dead?
I Corinthians 1:22,23,24 For the Jews require a

Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to
them that are weak.

to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God perventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the
snare of the devil, who are taken captive by
him at his will.
I Peter 2:6,7,8 Wherefore also it is contained in
the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief
corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth
on him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but
unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the
builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the
corner,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even
to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.

before the children of Israel, to eat things
sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
