Ezekiel 33:1-6 (Bible in Basic English)
View In My Bible
1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, give a word to the children of your people, and say to them, When I make the sword come on a land, if the people of the land take a man from among their number and make him their watchman:
3
If, when he sees the sword coming on the land, by sounding the horn he gives the people news of their danger;
4
Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.
5
On hearing the sound of the horn, he did not take note; his blood will be on him; for if he had taken note his life would have been safe.
6
But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not give a note on the horn, and the people have no word of the danger, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them; he will be taken away in his sin, but I will make the watchman responsible for his blood.
