Ezekiel 33:2-9 Son of man, Speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou shalt say unto them, A land,––when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take, one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as watchman;

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Son of man, Speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou shalt say unto them, A land,––when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take, one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as watchman; ³ And he shall see the sword coming upon the land,––and shall blow with the horn, and warn the people, ⁴ Then, as for him who, really heard, the sound of the horn, and took not warning, The sword indeed, hath come, and taken him away,––His blood, upon his own head, shall remain:–– ⁵ The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself, shall remain,––Whereas, had, he, taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered. ⁶ But, as for the watchman––When he seeth the sword coming, And hath not blown with the horn, And, the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come, and taken away from among them any person, He, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But, his blood, at the hand of the watchman, will I require. ⁷ Thou, therefore, Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel, So then thou shalt hear, at my mouth, a message, and shalt warn them, from me. ⁸ When I say to the lawless man, O lawless man, thou shalt, surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way, He, the lawless man, for his iniquity shall die, But, his blood––at thy hand, will I demand. ⁹ But, as for, thyself, When thou hast warned a lawless man from his way, to turn therefrom, And he hath not turned from his way, He, for his own iniquity, shall die, But, thou, hast delivered, thine own life.
