The Lord said to me, “Go find someone to guard this city. He must report whatever he sees.
“Son of man, I am making you a watchman for Israel. I will tell you about bad things that will happen to them, and you must warn Israel.
Jerusalem, I put guards on your walls. They will not be silent. They will keep praying day and night. Guards, keep praying to the Lord. Remind him of his promise. Don’t ever stop praying.
The guards patrolling the city found me. I asked them, “Have you seen the man I love?”
The watchman shouted to tell King David. King David said, “If the man is alone, he is bringing news.” The man came closer and closer to the city.
