Ezekiel 33:31-33

International Standard Version

³¹ Then they come to you as a group, sit down right in front of you as if they were my people, hear your words—and then they don’t do what you say—^[a] because they’re seeking only their own desires,^[b] they pursue ill-gotten profits, and they keep following their own self-interests. ³² As far as they are concerned, you sing romantic songs with a beautiful voice and play a musical instrument well. They’ll listen to what you have to say, but they won’t put it into practice! ³³ When all of this comes about—and you can be sure that it will!—they’ll learn that a prophet has been in their midst.”
