Ezechiel 33:6

Romanian Cornilescu Translation

Dacă însă străjerul va vedea venind sabia, şi nu va suna din trîmbiţă, şi dacă poporul nu va fi înştiinţat, şi va veni sabia şi va răpi viaţa vreunui om, omul acela va pieri din pricina nelegiurii lui, dar voi cere sîngele lui din mîna străjerului.`

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But if the watchman see the sword come,.... Or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum is; so far doing the duty of his office as to be in the watchtower, and not asleep:

and yet blow not the trumpet: to give the people notice of the enemy, and of their danger:

and the people be not warned; but in the utmost security, not apprehending themselves to be in any danger at all:

if the sword come and take any person from among them; even though but a single person:

he is taken away in his iniquity: having had no time to have it set before him, and to be convinced, and to repent of it, and seek for pardoning mercy for it; it is a dreadful thing thus to be taken out of the world, and snatched into hell at once:

but his blood will I require at the watchman's hands; he shall be punished for not doing his duty, for not giving the due warning of danger, on which account the man was surprised with the enemy, and taken away unawares; and therefore his death shall be laid to the watchman, and he must be answerable for it.
