For thus my Lord said to me: Go, station a watchman, let him tell what he sees.
The lookout shouted to inform the king, who said, “If he is alone, he has good news to report.” As he kept coming nearer,
The watchmen found me, as they made their rounds in the city: “Him whom my soul loves—have you seen him?”
Upon your walls, Jerusalem, I have stationed sentinels; By day and by night, they shall never be silent. You who are to remind the Lord, take no rest,
Son of man, I have appointed you a sentinel for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, you shall warn them for me.
