Ezekiel 33:30-33

Ezekiel 33

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

30 As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’

31 So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest gain.

32 Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, who skillfully plays an instrument. They hear your words but do not put them into practice.

33 So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
