“He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.”
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any one of them; that man is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand, establishing the watchman's accountability: failure to warn makes the watchman responsible for preventable deaths. The responsibility is cosmic and spiritual—God holds the watchman accountable for blood shed due to failure to warn.
