This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When I say, either by the, menaces of my law, or by motion of my Spirit stirring thee up to reprove and warn.
The wicked; any wicked one whatever, rich or poor, mean or mighty.
Thou shalt surely die; such courses will certainly end in death, and in damnation if not left.
Givest him not warning; frequently, and with repeated monitions, as the word signifies, and as the apostle, Act_20:31. This to those that will hearken.
Nor speakest; some will profanely scoff and deride, yet speak to warn them, till it do appear they are such as will turn again and rent you. Or else it is the same thing repeated.
From his way; men must be told of their own sins; these are their dangers. To save his life; that thou mayst preserve his life, his soul, and recall him at once from sin and death.
Shall die in his iniquity; the man who is not warned by thee will certainly die in his sin, the sinner’s ignorance will not be sufficient to prevent his death, but thy not admonishing him will involve thee also in guilt and death. I will punish thee, who possibly mightest have saved by warning, however oughtest to have warned.
