The context

18When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him and do not speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way to keep him alive, that wicked man will die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand.

19 · This verse (above)

20And when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does injustice, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die; because you did not warn him, for his sin he will die, and his acts of righteousness that he did will not be remembered, but his blood I will require from your hand.
