“When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.”
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life, clarifying that warning creates obligation on the wicked to respond, with the prophet responsible only for communicating the warning. The prophet's responsibility is limited to the message; the response remains the individual's choice.
