Ezequiel 33:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:6

But if the watchman see the sword come
Or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum is; so far doing the duty of his office as to be in the watchtower, and not asleep: and yet blow not the trumpet:
to give the people notice of the enemy, and of their danger: and the people be not warned;
but in the utmost security, not apprehending themselves to be in any danger at all: if the sword come and take any person from among them;
even though but a single person: he is taken away in his iniquity:
having had no time to have it set before him, and to be convinced, and to repent of it, and seek for pardoning mercy for it; it is a dreadful thing thus to be taken out of the world, and snatched into hell at once: but his blood will I require at the watchman's hands;
he shall be punished for not doing his duty, for not giving the due warning of danger, on which account the man was surprised with the enemy, and taken away unawares; and therefore his death shall be laid to the watchman, and he must be answerable for it.

Ezequiel 33:6 In-Context

4 cualquiera que oyere el sonido del shofar, y no se apercibiere, y viniendo la espada lo tomare, su sangre será sobre su cabeza.
5 El sonido del shofar oyó, y no se apercibió; su sangre será sobre él; mas el que se apercibiere, librará su alma.
6 Pero si el atalaya viere venir la espada, y no tocare el shofar, y el pueblo no se apercibiere, y viniendo la espada, tomare de él alguno; él por causa de su pecado fue tomado, mas demandaré su sangre de mano del atalaya.
7 Tú, pues, hijo de hombre, yo te he puesto por atalaya a la Casa de Israel, y oirás la palabra de mi boca, y los apercibirás de mi parte.
8 Diciendo yo al impío: Impío, de cierto morirás; si tú no hablares para que se guarde el impío de su camino, el impío morirá por su pecado, mas su sangre yo la demandaré de tu mano.
