Ezekiel 33:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Son of man, speak to your fellow countrymen and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a country, and the people of that country designate one of their number to be their watchman, ³ and if he sees the sword coming against that country and blows his trumpet to warn the people, ⁴ then if any who hear the sound of the trumpet pay no attention to the warning, and the sword comes against them and destroys them, they shall bear the responsibility for their own death.
