This is what the Lord says to me:“ Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

The Lord said to me,“ Go. Put a guard on duty on Jerusalem’s walls. Have him report what he sees.

For thus the Lord said to me:“ Go, set a watchman; let him announce what he sees.

Meanwhile, the Lord said to me,“ Put a watchman on the city wall. Let him shout out what he sees.

For this is what the Lord says to me:“ Go, station the lookout, have him report what he sees.

For thus has the Lord said to me:“ Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”

For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth:

For the Lord has said to me,“ Go, post a lookout; let him report what he sees.

For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

For this is what the sovereign master has told me:“ Go, post a guard! He must report what he sees.

For the Lord said to me,“ Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the lookout tower. I will watch to see what he will say to me and what I should reply about my complaint.The LORD answered me: Write down this vision; clearly inscribe it on tablets so one may easily read it.

Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu’s mob approaching and shouted,“ I see a mob!” Joram responded,“ Choose a rider and send him to meet them and have him ask,‘ Do you come in peace?’”So a horseman went to meet Jehu and said,“ This is what the king asks:‘ Do you come in peace?’” Jehu replied,“ What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.” The watchman reported,“ The messenger reached them but hasn’t started back.”So he sent out a second horseman, who went to them and said,“ This is what the king asks:‘ Do you come in peace?’” Jehu answered,“ What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”Again the watchman reported,“ He reached them but hasn’t started back. Also, the driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi— he drives like a madman.”

“ Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, give them a warning from me.

“ Son of man, speak to your people and tell them,‘ Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land select a man from among them, appointing him as their watchman.And suppose he sees the sword coming against the land and blows his ram’s horn to warn the people.Then, if anyone hears the sound of the ram’s horn but ignores the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his death will be his own fault.Since he heard the sound of the ram’s horn but ignored the warning, his death is his own fault. If he had taken warning, he would have saved his life.However, suppose the watchman sees the sword coming but doesn’t blow the ram’s horn, so that the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes away their lives. Then they have been taken away because of their iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’“ As for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, give them a warning from me.

Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night. There is no rest for you, who remind the LORD.

Raise up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon; fortify the watch post; set the watchmen in place; prepare the ambush. For the LORD has both planned and accomplished what he has threatened against those who live in Babylon.You who reside by abundant water, rich in treasures, your end has come, your life thread is cut.
