When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but but his blood I will require at your hand.I've heard many writer say they write because they can't not write; the words just come out, and they have to channel them somehow. Similarly, I've heard evangelists say roughly the same thing, that they can't not preach, because they know they have the message of life and have to tell people about it.
Here, Ezekiel is given another reason to preach when he is told. If he does not, he will be responsible for the sinner's death. His preaching might have saved that person. Even if it doesn't, he would still have had the truth to consider, which is all Ezekiel can do.
