  - "Ezekiel affirms boundaries and limits?the prophet who warns the guilty to turn from wicked paths has fulfilled her duty and saved her life. She cannot make anyone turn (incidentally, God can't do that either). She will not be held accountable for how others respond to God's warning word. But human is responsible to human. The one who has heard the word of God must warn the guilty."
