NET Bible
"He sees the sword coming against the land, blows the trumpet, and warns the people,"
— Ezekiel 33:3, NET Bible
“If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;”
“if, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; ”
“if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;”
“And he sees the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people:”
“If, when he sees the sword coming on the land, by sounding the horn he gives the people news of their danger;”
“If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;”
Ezekiel Israel’s Watchman The LORD’s message came to me:
“Son of man, speak to your people, and say to them,‘Suppose I bring a sword against the land, and the people of the land take one man from their borders and make him their watchman.
He sees the sword coming against the land, blows the trumpet, and warns the people,
but there is one who hears the sound of the trumpet yet does not heed the warning. Then the sword comes and sweeps him away. He will be responsible for his own death.
He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, so he is responsible for himself. If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.
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, but I will hold the watchman accountable for that person’s death.’
