Ezekiel 33:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Blow not the trumpet; neglect his charge, which is to give the alarm. Be not warned; but, unwarned, are surprised by the enemy. Taken away in his iniquity; punished by the Lord for his sins and trespasses formerly done, and he is destroyed under the present fault of not watching, which is a fault in every one that is so secure in time of war. His blood; the guilt of that blood. Require at the watchman's hand; charge upon and for it punish the watchman, who sinned in not giving warning.

Ezekiel 33:6

6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
