Ezekiel 3:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

15 Thus I came to the exiles who lived at Tel-abib[a] by the river Chebar; and there where they dwelt, I stayed among them distraught for seven days. 16 (A)At the end of the seven days, the word of the Lord came to me:

The Prophet as Sentinel.[b] 17 Son of man, I have appointed you a sentinel for the house of Israel.(B) When you hear a word from my mouth, you shall warn them for me.
