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