For thus has the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he is alone, there are tidings in his mouth. And he came rapidly, and drew near.
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw you him whom my soul loves?
I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day nor night: you that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence.
Son of man, I have made you a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
