Ezekiel 33:31-33

New International Reader's Version

³¹ My people come to you, just as they usually do. They sit in front of you. They hear what you say. But they do not put it into practice. With their mouths they say they love me. But in their hearts they want what belongs to others. They try to get rich by cheating them. ³² You are nothing more to them than someone who sings love songs. They say you have a beautiful voice. They think you play an instrument well. They hear what you say. But they do not put it into practice.

³³ “Everything I have told you will come true. You can be sure of it. Then the people will know that a prophet has been among them.”
