Ezekiel 33:30-32

Contemporary English Version

The People Listen, but Don't Change

The Lord said:

³⁰ Ezekiel, son of man, the people with you in Babylonia talk about you when they meet by the city walls or in the doorways of their houses. They say, “Let's ask Ezekiel what the Lord has said today.” ³¹ So they all come and listen to you, but they refuse to do what you tell them. They claim to be faithful, but they are forever trying to cheat others out of their money. ³² They treat you as though you were merely singing love songs or playing music. They listen, but don't do anything you say.
