Again the word of the Lord came unto me After the delivery of various prophecies concerning the ruin of other nations, the Ammonites, Tyrians, and Egyptians, a fresh prophecy comes from the Lord concerning the Jews: saying; as follows:
2
"Son of man, speak to {your people}, and you must say to them, 'A land, if I bring over it a sword and the people of the land take a man, one from their number, and they appoint him for them as a watchman,
3
and he sees the sword coming against the land, and he blows on the horn and he warns the people,
4
and {anyone who listens} hears the sound of the horn and {he does not take warning} and [the] sword comes and it takes him, his blood will be on his [own] head.
5
[For] he heard the sound of the horn and he did not take warning; his blood will be on him. But [if] he took warning, he saved his life.
