Ezekiel 2:5

And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

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.

Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
