Ezekiel 33:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ My people come to you, as they are accustomed to do. They sit down in front of you and listen to your words, but they refuse to obey them. They flatter you with their lips, but their hearts are only interested in dishonest gain.

³² To them you are like a singer of lovely songs with a beautiful voice and skill in playing a musical instrument. They listen to your words, but they refuse to obey them. ³³ But when all this comes to pass—and that moment is soon approaching—they will know that a prophet has been in their midst.
