In Ezekiel 3, God warns the city watchman that He will hold him accountable for warning individuals about God's judgment against them. An adequate answer would require careful treatment of the entire section about the watchman and, perhaps, chapter 33. Note that the passage does not tell what specifically will happen to the watchman who fails to warn of danger, just that God will hold him accountable. In better times than these, clergy were respected. Alas, that once respected class has been downgraded.
Modern translations render the word awesome.
Clearly, God alone is truly awe-inspiring. Besides, it would sound like sour grapes. All material is copyrighted by Moody Bible Institute and its contributors. Published by Moody Bible Institute.
