Musar zu Jechezkiel 3:18
בְּאָמְרִ֤י לָֽרָשָׁע֙ מ֣וֹת תָּמ֔וּת וְלֹ֣א הִזְהַרְתּ֗וֹ וְלֹ֥א דִבַּ֛רְתָּ לְהַזְהִ֥יר רָשָׁ֛ע מִדַּרְכּ֥וֹ הָרְשָׁעָ֖ה לְחַיֹּת֑וֹ ה֤וּא רָשָׁע֙ בַּעֲוֺנ֣וֹ יָמ֔וּת וְדָמ֖וֹ מִיָּדְךָ֥ אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃
Wenn ich zu den Gottlosen sage: Du sollst mit Sicherheit sterben; und du gibst ihm keine Warnung und sprichst nicht, um die Gottlosen von seinem bösen Weg zu warnen, um sein Leben zu retten; derselbe böse Mann wird in seiner Missetat sterben, aber sein Blut werde ich von deiner Hand verlangen.
Orchot Tzadikim
And there is the case of a man who had intercourse with a woman who is prohibited to him and begot a son by her — this shame cannot be removed. And there is one who is accustomed to lie and to speak ill of people. And there is the one who has seduced people and misled them into doing a forbidden thing. And there is the man who sees people walking in an evil path, they having strayed from the righteous path, and he is afraid to rebuke them, or he was ashamed of them and refrained from teaching them the proper path. Of him the Scripture says, "The same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand" (Ezek. 3:18).
