⁹ Now when you go to war in your land against the adversary who ^(A)attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be ^(B)remembered before Yahweh your God and be saved from your enemies.

Anguish over Judah’s Desolation

³ and he sees the sword coming upon the land and ^(A)blows on the trumpet and warns the people, ⁴ then ^[a]he who hears the sound of the trumpet and ^(B)does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his ^(C)blood will be on his own head. ⁵ He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have ^(D)escaped with his life. ⁶ But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is ^(E)taken away ^[b]in his iniquity; but his ^(F)blood I will require from the watchman’s hand.’
