The Key Word — רָשָׁע, ra.Sha'generated
The word רָשָׁע (rasha`) refers to a person who is wicked or morally wrong. It encompasses meanings such as guilty and ungodly, describing individuals who act against God's commands or harm others. The parsing indicates that it is a common noun in the masculine singular form, emphasizing the individual nature of wickedness in this context.
In this verse, the wicked person is warned about the consequences of their actions. The use of רָשָׁע highlights the moral failing of the individual, making it clear that their choices lead to spiritual death unless they heed the warning.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
All translations agree on the meaning of רָשָׁע as 'wicked.' The BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE consistently use the term 'wicked' to convey the moral state of the person being addressed.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains a main clause introduced by the finite verb אָמְרִ֤י (be'amri), 'when I say,' which governs the subsequent phrases. The structure emphasizes the conditional nature of the warning — if the watchman fails to act, the consequences fall on him.
The clauses include a series of actions and consequences: the warning to the wicked, the failure to warn, and the resulting accountability. This layered structure reflects the seriousness of the watchman's role and the moral implications of his actions.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates רָשָׁע as ἀνόμῳ (anómō), which carries a similar meaning of lawlessness or wickedness. This choice indicates a broader understanding of moral failure that extends beyond individual actions to a state of being opposed to God's law.
This translation choice suggests an interpretation that emphasizes the relational aspect of wickedness — not just the actions themselves, but the inherent rebellion against divine order.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezekiel 3:18 tells us that God instructs Ezekiel, the watchman, to warn the wicked about their impending death due to their sins. If Ezekiel fails to do this, he will be held accountable for their blood. This highlights the serious responsibility of the prophet to guide others away from wrongdoing.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
A watchman is someone who is responsible for warning others about danger, particularly in a spiritual context. In this passage, Ezekiel is called to warn the people of Israel about their wickedness and the consequences of their actions.
The watchman is responsible because he has the duty to warn the wicked. If he fails to do so, he shares in the consequences of their actions, emphasizing the importance of guidance and accountability in moral leadership.
In this context, 'wicked' refers to individuals who are morally wrong and guilty of sin against God. It highlights their actions and the need for repentance and warning.
This verse illustrates the theme of accountability by showing that those who have knowledge of moral failings, like the watchman, have a responsibility to act. Failing to warn others can lead to dire consequences.

Tyndale line
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.

Strictly literal
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he may live: the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he doth live; he — the wicked — in his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require.
In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from your hand.

When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand.
From the Latin
If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Simplified
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.
When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Ezekiel 3:18 states that if God tells a wicked man he will die and the prophet fails to warn him, the prophet will be held responsible for the man's death. The Septuagint closely follows this message, with 17 out of 20 words matching the Masoretic Text, though the word order and articles differ due to the nature of Greek syntax. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional witnesses for this specific verse, so the agreement between the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint is significant in understanding this passage.
בְּאָמְרִ֤י לָֽרָשָׁע֙ מ֣וֹת תָּמ֔וּת וְלֹ֣א הִזְהַרְתּ֗וֹ וְלֹ֥א דִבַּ֛רְתָּ לְהַזְהִ֥יר רָשָׁ֛ע מִדַּרְכּ֥וֹ הָרְשָׁעָ֖ה לְחַיֹּת֑וֹ ה֤וּא רָשָׁע֙ בַּעֲוֹנ֣וֹ יָמ֔וּת וְדָמ֖וֹ מִיָּדְךָ֥ אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃
