3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, andwarn the people;
4 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.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shallbe upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, andthe people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from amongthem, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require atthe watchman's hand.
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel;therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thoudost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall diein his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if hedo not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast deliveredthy soul.

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thineeye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and thenshalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; andwhen he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom hereceiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what sonis he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then areye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and wegave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto theFather of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure;but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousnessunto them which are exercised thereby.
