20–21“And if the righteous turn back from living righteously and take up with evil when I step in and put them in a hard place, they’ll die. If you haven’t warned them, they’ll die because of their sins, and none of the right things they’ve done will count for anything—and I’ll hold you responsible.

Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die.
