Ezekiel 33:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ He heard the sound of the trumpet. But he did not do anything. So he is to blame for his own death. If he had done something, he would have saved his own life. ⁶ But the watchman might see the enemy coming to attack and not blow the trumpet. So the people are not warned. Then the enemy comes and kills one of them. That person has died because of his own sin. But I will punish the watchman for the person’s death.’

⁷ “As for you, human being, I have made you a watchman for Israel. If you hear a message from me, you must warn them for me.
