3and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;

4and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear indeed, and yet not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his own head.

— Ezekiel 33:5 —

6But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from among them, that soul is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood thereof will I require at the watchman’s hand.

7And thou, son of man, I have set thee as a watchman to the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear a word from my mouth.
