A Safe and Righteous Life

Ezekiel 3:16-21

As seven days pass by the Lord said to me,
That He has made the Son of man in vigil;
So give an ear to my mouth so you can see,
Relating to the Word of the dangers of evil.

As when the wicked says your fate is death,
Acknowledge it not nor rebut of the same;
For he'll be the one to take a dying breath,
As his actions will self destruct his claim.

From his own actions an evil man will die,
But you will be responsible for his blood;
Please do not feel sorrow and start to cry,
For you just might actually cause a flood.

If you tell the wicked about the dangers,
And he does not turn away from his sin;
Then death is certainly inside his wagers,
With no memory of righteous acts within.

Evil should not be of the righteous man,
He will remain safe as he keeps his life;
For with the Spirit of God you surely can,
Stay away from the temptation and strife.
