Ezekiel 33:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² ‘Son of man, speak to your people. Say to them, “Think about what might happen if I send an army to attack a country. The people of that country might choose one of their own men to be a guard to warn them about danger.^{[a] 3} Then, if the guard sees that enemy soldiers are ready to attack, he must blow a trumpet to warn his people. ⁴ Someone might hear the sound of the trumpet, but he does nothing to keep himself safe. If enemy soldiers then come and kill that person, he is guilty of his own death.
