"Son of man, with one blow I am about to take away from you the desire of your eyes. But do not have sorrow or loud crying or any tears.

They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. Then I will clean away what is left from her and make her nothing but rock.

I will make you nothing but rock. You will be a place for nets to be spread. You will never be built again, for I the Lord have spoken," says the Lord God.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the horn, and the people are not told of the danger, and a sword comes and kills one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin. But the blood of the watchman must be given.'

When I tell a sinful man that he will die for sure, and you do not speak to him about the danger of his way, that sinful man will die in his sin. But your blood must be given.

But if you tell a sinful man to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his sin. But you have saved your life.

Say to them, ‘As I live,' says the Lord God, ‘I am not pleased when sinful people die. But I am pleased when the sinful turn from their way and live. Turn! Turn from your sinful ways! Why will you die, O people of Israel?'

Now, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘If a man does what is right and good, it will not save him when he sins.'
