Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:2 - Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and thou shalt say to them, On whatsoever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:3 - and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:4 - and 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:5 - Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:6 - But 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:7 - And 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:11 - Say to them, Thus saith the Lord; As I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn ye heartily from your way; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:12 - Say to the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous erring shall not be able to deliver himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:13 - When I say to the righteous, Thou shalt live; and he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:16 - None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgment and righteousness; by them shall he live.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:22 - Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:23 - And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:24 - Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate places on the land of Israel say, Abraam was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:25 - Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:27 - As I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords, and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified cities and them that are in the caves I will slay with pestilence.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:31 - They approach thee as a people comes together, and sit before thee, and hear thy words, but they will not do them: for there is falsehood in their mouth, and their heart goes after their pollutions.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:32 - And thou art to them as the sound of a sweet, well-tuned psaltery, and they will hear thy words, but they will not do them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:33 - But whenever it shall come to pass, they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
