KJV ORIGINAL
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
And if someone who's been doing right suddenly turns around and starts doing wrong, and I put obstacles in their path that lead to their downfall — if you don't warn them, they'll die in their mess. All the good they did before won't matter anymore, and I'm going to hold you responsible for not speaking up.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes loving people means having the hard conversations they need to hear.
