Ezekiel 33:5-7
International Standard Version
5 After all, he heard the alarm sounding, but did not heed the warning, so his shed blood will remain his own responsibility.[a] If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved himself.[b] 6 If that sentinel notices that violence is approaching, but does not sound an alarm, then because the nation does not take warning and the sword arrives and destroys their lives because of their guilt, I’ll seek retribution for their shed blood from the[c] one who was acting as sentinel.’”
Warning for Ezekiel
7 “Now as for you, Son of Man, I’ve established you as a sentinel for the house of Israel. So whenever you hear a message from me,[d] you are to warn the people[e] from me.
