1. A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
2. "Son of man, speak to the people of your own country. Tell them, 'Suppose I send enemies against a land. And its people choose one of their men to stand guard.
3. He sees the enemies coming against the land. He blows a trumpet to warn the people.
4. " 'Someone hears the trumpet. But he does not pay any attention to the warning. The enemies come and kill him. Then what happens to him will be his own fault.
