但如果守望者看见敌人来攻打而不吹号警告百姓，以致有人被敌人杀了，那人固然是因自己的罪恶而被杀，我却要向这守望者追讨那人被杀的血债。’

但那守望者若見刀劍臨到，而不吹號角，以致人民沒有受警告，而刀劍遂來除滅他們中間任何人的性命，那麼這人雖因他自己的罪孽而被除滅，然而流他血的罪我卻要從守望者手裏追討。

如戍卒見刃將至、不吹角以警民、刃至而殺人、其人死於其罪、而我必索其血於戍卒、

如戍卒見刃將至、不吹角以警眾、刃至而殺人、則彼死於罪愆、而戍卒亦遭刑罰。

如守望者見刃將至、不吹角、致民不警備、刃至殺其中一人、則彼死於罪中、而其喪命之罪、我必討問於守望者、

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’

But suppose the guard sees the enemies coming. And he does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. The enemies come and kill one of them. Then their life has been taken away from them because they sinned. But I will hold the guard responsible for their death.’

更何況惡人把義人殺在他家的床上，我豈不從你們手中追討他的血，從地上除滅你們嗎？」

我何時指着惡人說：『他必要死』；你若不警戒他，也不勸告他，使他離開惡行，拯救他的性命，這惡人必死在罪孽之中；我卻要從你手裏討他的血債。倘若你警戒惡人，他仍不轉離罪惡，也不離開惡行，他必死在罪孽之中，你卻救了自己的命。但是義人若轉離他的義而作惡，我要把絆腳石放在他面前，他必死亡；因你沒有警戒他，他必死在罪中，他素來所行的義不被記念；我卻要從你手裏討他的血債。

惟有犯罪的，卻必死亡。兒子不擔當父親的罪孽，父親也不擔當兒子的罪孽。義人的善果要歸自己，惡人的惡報也要歸自己。

我對惡人說：『惡人哪，你必要死！』你若不開口警戒惡人，使他離開所行的道，這惡人必因自己的罪孽而死，我卻要從你手裏討他的血債。但是你，你若警戒惡人，叫他離棄所行的道，他仍不轉離，他必因自己的罪孽而死，你卻救了自己的命。」

呂便回答他們說：「我不是對你們說過，不可傷害那孩子嗎？只是你們不肯聽，看哪，他的血在追討了。」

流你們血、害你們命的，我必向他追討；我要向一切走獸追討，向人和向人的弟兄追討人命。

主耶和華如此說：看哪，我必與牧人為敵，從他們手裏討回我的羊，使他們不再牧放羣羊；牧人也不再餵養自己。我必救我的羊脫離他們的口，不再作他們的食物。」

至於義人，他若轉離義行而作惡，照着惡人所做一切可憎的事去做，豈能存活呢？他所行的一切義都不被記念；反而因所行的惡、所犯的罪死亡。

於是耶穌又對他們說：「我去了，你們會找我，而你們會死在自己的罪中；我所去的地方，你們不能去。」猶太人說：「他說『我所去的地方，你們不能去』，難道他要自殺嗎？」耶穌對他們說：「你們是從下面來的，我是從上面來的；你們是屬這世界的，我不是屬這世界的。所以我對你們說，你們會死在自己的罪中，你們若不信我就是那位，就會死在自己的罪中。」

以色列的守望者都瞎了眼，沒有知識；都是啞狗，不會吠叫，只知做夢，躺臥，貪睡，這些狗貪食，不知飽足。這些牧人不知明辨，他們都偏行己路，人人追求自己的利益。

惡人因所行的惡必被推倒；義人臨死，有所投靠。
