Ezekiel 33:5-7
New English Translation

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, so he is responsible for himself.[a] If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life. 6 But suppose the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. Then the sword comes and takes one of their lives. He is swept away for his iniquity,[b] but I will hold the watchman accountable for that person’s death.’[c]

7 “As for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman[d] for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them on my behalf.
