Ezekiel 33:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ They heard the sound of the trumpet. But they did not pay any attention to the warning. So what happened to them was their own fault. If they had paid attention, they would have saved themselves. ⁶ But suppose the guard sees the enemies coming. And he does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. The enemies come and kill one of them. Then their life has been taken away from them because they sinned. But I will hold the guard responsible for their death.’

⁷ “Son of man, I have appointed you as a prophet to warn the people of Israel. So listen to my message. Give them a warning from me.
