NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ »‘If the people hear the horn and ignore the warning and the enemy comes and takes them, they will be responsible for their own deaths. ⁵ »‘They heard the sound of the horn but ignored its warning. In that case they are responsible for their own deaths. If they had taken the warning they would have saved themselves. ⁶ »‘But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and does not blow his horn to warn the people and the enemy comes and kills someone, that watchman must die because of his sin. I will hold him responsible for their deaths.’ ⁷ »Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I say and warn them for me. ⁸ »Suppose I say to a wicked person, ‘You wicked person, you will certainly die.’ And you say nothing to warn him to change his ways. That wicked person will die because of his sin. I will hold you responsible for his death. ⁹ »But if you warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life.
