And on your walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezreel, and saw the dust [made by] Jehu as he approached. And he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.

And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.

Lift up a standard on the walls of Babylon, prepare the quivers, rouse the guards, prepare the weapons; for the Lord has taken [the work] in hand, and will execute what He has spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon,

dwelling on many waters, and amidst the abundance of her treasures. Assuredly your end has come, into your inward parts.

I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word from My mouth, and shall threaten them from Me.

Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatsoever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take a man from their territory, and set him for their watchman,

and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear, and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword comes, and takes a soul from among them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman' hand.

I will stand upon my watch, and mount upon the rock, and watch to see what He will say by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and that plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.
