If they had taken warning, they would have saved their lives. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person will die for their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood. 7 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel.

The door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.” 8 I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will surely get up and give him as much as he needs. 9 So I say to you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a piece of bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
