Ezekiel 33:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 33:1

The Watchman and His Message

1 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, speak to ^athe children of your people, and say to them: ^b‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their ^cwatchman,

3 when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,

4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does ^anot take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, ^bhis blood shall be on his own head.

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will¹ save his life.

6 But 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, ^ahe is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’

7 ^a“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.
