“(Verse 35, 36, and following) And I will bring you into a desert of peoples, and there I will judge you face to face.

In context

4and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear indeed, and yet not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his own head.

5Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.

— Ezekiel 33:6 —

7And thou, son of man, I have set thee as a watchman to the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear a word from my mouth.

8When I say to the sinner, Thou shalt surely die; if thou speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
