Ezekiel 33 📜 📕 ↷
Ezekiel the Watchman for Israel
1 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and thou shalt say to them: The land when I shall bring the sword in upon it, and the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them:📜💬📚
3 and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and sound with the trumpet, and tell the people:📜💬📚
4 and he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, and the sword come, and take him: his blood shall be upon his head.📜💬📚
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and did not look to himself, his blood shall be on himself: but if he shall look to himself, he shall save his life.📜💬📚
6 And if the watchman see the sword coming, & sound not with the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and take a soul from among them: he certes is caught in his iniquity, but his blood I will require of the hand of the watchman.📜💬📚
7 And thou son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: hearing therefore the word from my mouth, thou shalt tell them from me.📜💬📚
8 If when I say to the impious: O thou impious, dying thou shalt die: thou speak not that the impious may keep himself from his way: the impious himself shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at thy hand.📜💬📚
9 But if thou telling the impious, that he convert from his ways, he convert not from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul.📜💬📚
