Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of
the LORD came to me, saying, 2"Son of man, speak to the
children of your people, and say to them: "When I bring the sword upon a
land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him
their watchman, 3when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he
blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4then whoever hears the
sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes
him away, his blood shall be on his own head. 5He heard the sound of
the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he
who takes warning will save his life. 6But if the watchman sees the
sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and
the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his
iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' 7"So
you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from
My mouth and warn them for Me. 8When I say to the wicked, "O
wicked man, you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from
his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will
require at your hand. 9Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn
from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity;
but you have delivered your soul. 10"Therefore
you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: "Thus you say, "If our
transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we
then live?"' 11Say to them: "As I live,' says the Lord
GOD, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked
turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you
die, O house of Israel?'
