But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 6 is found in chapter 33 of Ezekiel. Ezekiel again receives the responsibility of a watchman. If the watchman warns of danger and someone does not respond, responsibility falls upon the one who rejected the warning. The image clearly establishes the prophet’s responsibility to communicate the message faithfully.

Wo aber der Wächter sähe das Schwert kommen und die Drommete nicht bliese noch sein Volk warnte, und das Schwert käme und nähme etliche weg: dieselben würden wohl um ihrer Sünden willen weggenommen; aber ihr Blut will ich von des Wächters Hand fordern.
Pero si el atalaya viere venir la espada, y no tocare la corneta, y el pueblo no se apercibiere, y viniendo la espada, tomare de él alguno; por causa de su pecado fue tomado, mas demandaré su sangre de mano del atalaya.
En cambio, si el centinela ve venir la espada y no toca la trompeta, y el pueblo no recibe advertencia, y la espada viene y se lleva a una persona de entre ellos, esa persona será arrebatada por su culpa, pero yo exigiré su sangre de la mano del centinela.
Si la sentinelle voit venir l'épée, et ne sonne pas de la trompette; si le peuple n'est pas averti, et que l'épée vienne enlever à quelqu'un la vie, celui-ci périra à cause de son iniquité, mais je redemanderai son sang à la sentinelle.
Ma, se la vedetta vede venir la spada, e non suona con la tromba, e il popolo non è stato avvisato, e la spada viene, e coglie alcuna persona d’infra esso, ben sarà quella stata colta per la sua iniquità; ma io ridomanderò il suo sangue alla vedetta.
Mas, se quando o atalaia vir que vem a espada, e não tocar a trombeta, e não for avisado o povo, e a espada vier, e levar uma vida dentre eles, este tal foi levado na sua iniqüidade, porém o seu sangue requererei da mão do atalaia.
倘若守望者見刀劍臨到,卻不吹角,以致百姓未受警戒,刀劍來殺了他們中間的一個人,這人雖然因自己的罪孽而死,我卻要從守望者的手裏討他的血債。
