Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:3 - and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:4 - then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:12 - “And you, son of man, say to [fn]your fellow citizens, ‘The righteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous man will not be able to live [fn]by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:13 - “When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has committed he will die.

Word of Jerusalem's Capture

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:21 - Now in the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth of the tenth month, the [fn]refugees from Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been [fn]taken.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:22 - Now the hand of the LORD had been upon me in the evening, before the [fn]refugees came. And He opened my mouth [fn]at the time they came to me in the morning; so my mouth was opened and I was no longer [fn]speechless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:23 - Then the word of the LORD came to me saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:24 - “Son of man, they who live in these waste places in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one, yet he possessed the land; so to us who are many the land has been given as a possession.’
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:25 - “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols as you shed blood. Should you then possess the land?

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:27 - “Thus you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword, and whoever is in the [fn]open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of pestilence.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:28 - “I will make the land a desolation and a waste, and the pride of her power will cease; and the mountains of Israel will be desolate so that no one will pass through.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:29 - “Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I make the land a desolation and a waste because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:30 - “But as for you, son of man, [fn]your fellow citizens who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, ‘Come now and hear what the [fn]message is which comes forth from the LORD.’
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 33:31 - “They come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their gain.
