Talmage, p. 50 The Lord Holds Us Accountable Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come,and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, andtook not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be notwarned; if the sword come, and take [any] person from among them, he is taken away in hisiniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
