Ezekiel 33:3-6

Ezekiel Is Israel's Watchman

3 and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and x blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, y his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 z He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life. 6 a But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, a that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.
