“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.”
So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me, assigning Ezekiel the watchman role and establishing that his prophetic function is to communicate God's warnings. The first-person address makes the responsibility intensely personal.
