Bible Verses About Watchmen

Raise a standard against the walls of Bavel! Strengthen the guard! Post the sentries! Prepare ambushes! For ADONAI has both planned and accomplished what he promised to do to those living in Bavel.

"Human being, I have appointed you to be a watchman for the house of Isra'el. When you hear a word from my mouth, you are to warn them for me.

"Human being, speak to your people; say to them, 'Suppose I bring the sword on a country, and the people of that country take one of their men and appoint him their watchman.

Now if, upon seeing the sword coming against that country, he blows the shofar and warns the people;

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the shofar, so that the people are not warned; and then the sword comes and takes any one of them, that one is indeed taken away in his guilt, but I will hold the watchman responsible for his death.'

Pilate said to them, "You may have your guard. Go and make the grave as secure as you know how."

So they went and made the grave secure by sealing the stone and putting the guard on watch.

and said to them, "Tell people, `His talmidim came during the night and stole his body while we were sleeping.'

If the governor hears of it, we will put things right with him and keep you from getting in trouble."

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your lives, as people who will have to render an account. So make it a task of joy for them, not one of groaning; for that is of no advantage to you.
