1. And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2. “Son of man, speak to your people, and you must say to them, ‘A land, if I bring over it a sword and the people of the land take a man, one from their number, and they appoint him for them as a watchman,
3. and he sees the sword coming against the land, and he blows on the horn and he warns the people,
4. and anyone who listens hears the sound of the horn and he does not take warning and the sword comes and it takes him, his blood will be on his own head.
5. For he heard the sound of the horn and he did not take warning; his blood will be on him. But if he took warning, he saved his life.
