- watchmen:
- "The watchmenª° that went aboutª° the cityª foundª° me, they smoteª° me, they woundedª° me; the keepersª° of the wallsª took awayª°¹ my veilª from¹¹ me." {Sgs 5:7} + "For¹ thus¹ hath the Lordª saidª° unto¹ me, Go,²°¹ setª° a watchman,ª° let him declareª° what¹ he seeth.ª° ... And he cried,ª° A lion:ª My lord,²¹ I¹ standª° continuallyª upon¹ the watchtowerª in the daytime,ª and I¹ am setª° in¹ my wardª whole¹ nights:ª" {Isa 21:6-8} + "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} + "His watchmenª° [are] blind:ª they are all¹ ignorant,ª°¹ they [are] all¹ dumbª dogs,ª they cannotª°¹ bark;ª° sleeping,ª° lying down,ª° lovingª° to slumber.ª°" {Isa 56:10} + "I have setª° watchmenª° upon¹ thy walls,ª O Jerusalem,ª [which] shall neverª¹ hold their peaceª° dayª nor night:ª ye that make mentionª° of¹ the LORD,ª keep not silence,ª¹" {Isa 62:6} + "Sonª of man,ª I have madeª° thee a watchmanª° unto the houseª of Israel:ª therefore hearª° the wordª at my mouth,ª¹ and give them warningª°¹ from¹ me." {Ezk 3:17} + "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° ... Nevertheless, if¹ thou¹ warnª° the wickedª of his wayª¹ to turnª° from¹ it; if he do not¹ turnª° from his way,ª¹ he¹ shall dieª° in his iniquity;ª but thou¹ hast deliveredª° thy soul.ª" {Ezk 33:2-9} + "Obeyª° them that have the rule²° over¹ you,ª andª submit¹ yourselves:²° forª theyª watchª° forª yourª souls,ª asª they that must giveª° account,ª thatª they may doª° itª withª joy,ª andª notª with grief:ª° forª thatª [is] unprofitableª for you.ª" {Hbr 13:17}
