1. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said,
2. “Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them, ‘Suppose I bring war on this country, and the people of this country choose one of their men and make him their watchman.
3. If he sees the enemy coming to attack the country, he will blow his horn to warn the people.
4. If the people hear the horn and ignore the warning and the enemy comes and takes them, they will be responsible for their own deaths.
