How do we understand the portion of scripture below, not so much in our duty to warn sinners but particularly in regard to the meaning of the words 'but his blood will I require at thine hand?'
'Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou 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.' (Ezekiel 3:17-18)
Any thoughts would be appreciated
