Context of Ezekiel 33:5
3If, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, he blows the shofar and warns the people, 4then whoever hears the sound of the shofar but ignores the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. He heard the sound of the shofar and ignored the warning; his blood will be on himself. However, if he had taken warning, he would have saved his soul. 6But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the shofar, the people are not warned. Then the sword does come and takes a person from among them—he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’ 7“You, son of man, I have set you as a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear the word from My mouth, warn them from Me.

Ezekiel had been faithful as a watchman. No one who heard his prophecy could say he did not warn them of the coming judgment. But the people did not listen to the warning.
