Ezekiel 33:5

5 sonum bucinae audivit et non se observavit sanguis eius in ipso erit si autem custodierit animam suam salvavit

Ezekiel 33:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:5

He heard the sound of the trumpet
The alarm of the enemy being at hand, and so was inexcusable: and took not warning;
which that gave him: his blood shall be upon him;
the fault shall be imputed to himself, and not another; and he must bear it himself, and answer for it, and not the watchman: but he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul;
who, hearing the sound of the trumpet, prepares for his own defence, and provides for his safety, he shall save his life, and not fall into the enemies' hands.

Ezekiel 33:5 In-Context

3 et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram et cecinerit bucina et adnuntiaverit populo

4 audiens autem quisquis ille est sonum bucinae non se observaverit veneritque gladius et tulerit eum sanguis ipsius super caput eius erit

5 sonum bucinae audivit et non se observavit sanguis eius in ipso erit si autem custodierit animam suam salvavit

6 quod si speculator viderit gladium venientem et non insonuerit bucina et populus non se custodierit veneritque gladius et tulerit de eis animam ille quidem in iniquitate sua captus est sanguinem autem eius de manu speculatoris requiram

7 et tu fili hominis speculatorem dedi te domui Israhel audiens ergo ex ore meo sermonem adnuntiabis eis ex me
