1 God spoke to Ezekiel again. ️ 2 God said: Tell the people a story. In a land, they pick a man to watch the wall. He is a watchman. 3 When the watchman sees the enemy come, he blows a horn to warn the town. ⚠️ 4 If a person hears the horn but does not run to be safe, he will get hurt. It is his own fault. ♂️❌ 5 He heard the horn but did not listen. He gets hurt. If he had listened, he would be safe. ➡️/️ 6 If the watchman sees danger and does not blow the horn, people will die. God says the watchman did wrong. ⚔️ 7 God said: Ezekiel, I made you a watchman for Israel. Hear My words and tell them. ️ 8 If I say, “Bad man, you will die,” and you do not tell him, he will die, and I will say you did not tell. ☠️️ 9 But if you tell the bad man to stop and he will not stop, he will die for his bad. You will be safe. ️➡️☠️ 10 God said: Say to the people, “You say, We did bad. We feel sad. Can we live?” ❓ 11 Say, “God says, I do not like when bad people die. I want them to turn and live. Turn back. Please turn back. Why will you die?” ❤️ 12 Say, “If a good man starts to do bad, his good will not save him. If a bad man stops his bad, he will not stay in trouble.” 13 If I say to a good man, “You will live,” but he trusts his good and then does wrong, he will die for the wrong. ⚖️☠️ 14 If I say to a bad man, “You will die,” but he stops his bad and does what is right, ➡️ 15 If he gives back what he stole and walks in good ways, he will live. He will not die. ♂️❤️ 16 I will not count the old bad on him. He did right. He will live. ❤️ 17 But your people say, “God is not fair.” Their way is not fair. ♂️⚖️ 18 If a good man turns to bad, he will die for the bad. ☠️ 19 If a bad man turns from bad and does right, he will live. ❤️ 20 You say, “God is not fair.” But I will say what is right for each one, by what he does. ⚖️ 21 Later, a man ran from the city and came to Ezekiel. He said, “The city fell.” ♂️️⬇️ 22 The night before he came, God helped Ezekiel speak. My mouth was opened. I could talk. ️✨ 23 God spoke to Ezekiel again. ️ 24 God said: People left in the land say, “Abraham was one man and got the land. We are many. The land is ours.” ➡️ 25 Say to them: You do bad. You eat in a bad way. You look to fake gods. You hurt people. Do you think you can keep the land? 26 You trust in the sword. You do very bad things. You take your friend’s wife. Will you keep the land? ⚔️ 27 Say: People in the land will die by the sword. People in the field will be food for wild animals. People in towns and caves will die by sick. ⚔️ 28 I will make the land empty. The strong power will end. No one will pass by. ️ 29 Then they will know I am God, when the land is empty because they did very bad. ️ 30 God said: Ezekiel, your people talk about you near walls and doors. They say, “Come hear what God says.” ♂️♀️ 31 They come and sit with you. They hear your words, but they do not do them. They say nice words, but they want more stuff. ️ 32 To them, you are like a nice song with a good voice. They hear you, but they do not do it. 33 When the words come true, they will know a man of God was with them. ✅
