- the watchman:
- "And there stoodª° a watchmanª° on¹ the towerª in Jezreel,ª and he spiedª°¹ the companyª of Jehuª as he came,ª° and said,ª° I¹ seeª° a company.ª And Joramª said,ª° Takeª° an horseman,ª and sendª° to meet²°¹ them, and let him say,ª° [Is it] peace?ª ... And the watchmanª° told,ª° saying,ª° He cameª° even¹ unto¹ them, and cometh not again:ª°¹ and the drivingª [is] like the drivingª of Jehuª the sonª of Nimshi;ª for¹ he drivethª° furiously.ª" {2Kg 9:17-20} + "For¹ thus¹ hath the Lordª saidª° unto¹ me, Go,²°¹ setª° a watchman,ª° let him declareª° what¹ he seeth.ª° ... And, behold,¹ here¹ comethª° a chariotª of men,ª [with] a coupleª of horsemen.ª And he answeredª° and said,ª° Babylonª is fallen,ª° is fallen;ª° and all¹ the graven imagesª of her godsª he hath brokenª° unto the ground.ª" {Isa 21:6-9} + "The burdenª of Dumah.ª He callethª° to¹ me out of Seir,ª¹ Watchman,ª° what¹ of the night?ª¹ Watchman,ª° what¹ of the night?ª¹ ... The watchmanª° said,ª° The morningª cometh,ª° and also¹ the night:ª if¹ ye will enquire,ª° enquireª° ye: return,ª° come.ª°" {Isa 21:11-12} + "Sonª of man,ª speakª° to¹ the childrenª of thy people,ª and sayª° unto¹ them, When¹ I bringª° the swordª upon¹ a land,ª if the peopleª of the landª takeª° aª manª of their coasts,ª¹ and setª° him for their watchman:ª° ... So thou,¹ O sonª of man,ª I have setª° thee a watchmanª° unto the houseª of Israel;ª therefore thou shalt hearª° the wordª at my mouth,ª¹ and warnª° them from¹ me." {Ezk 33:2-7}
