Ezekiel 33:31 Context
29Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I haue layed the land most desolate, because of all their abominations which they haue committed. 30¶ Also thou sonne of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walles, and in the doores of the houses, and speake one to another, euery one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and heare what is the word that commeth foorth from the Lord. 31And they come vnto thee as the people commeth, and they sit before thee as my people, and they heare thy words, but they will not doe them: for with their mouth they shew much loue, but their heart goeth after their couetousnesse. 32And loe, thou art vnto them as a very louely song of one that hath a pleasant voyce, and can play well on an instrument: for they heare thy wordes, but they doe them not. 33And when this commeth to passe, (loe it will come) then shall they know that a Prophet hath bene among them.
