"Son of man, speak to the ^(C1)sons of your people and say to them, 'If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman,

and he sees the sword coming upon the land and ^(C1)blows the ^(F1)horn and warns the people,

then ^(F1)someone who hears the sound of the horn but ^(C1)does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his ^(C2)blood will be on his own head.

'He heard the sound of the horn but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have ^(C1)saved his life.

'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the horn and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is ^(C1)taken away for his wrongdoing; but I will ^(F1)require his ^(C2)blood from the watchman's hand.'
