Ezekiel 33:1-7

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message came to me:

2 "Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them: 'If I bring war on this land and the people take one of their citizens and make him their watchman,

3 and if the watchman sees war coming and blows the trumpet, warning the people,

4 then if anyone hears the sound of the trumpet and ignores it and war comes and takes him off, it's his own fault.

5 He heard the alarm, he ignored it - it's his own fault. If he had listened, he would have saved his life.

7 "You, son of man, are the watchman. I've made you a watchman for Israel. The minute you hear a message from me, warn them.

New International Version NIV

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,

3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,

4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head.

5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves.

7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
