Езекиил – страж Исраила
33 Было ко мне слово Вечного:
2 – Смертный, поговори с соплеменниками и скажи им: «Если Я наведу на какую-либо страну меч, а жители той страны изберут у себя человека, поставят его своим стражем, 3 и он увидит, что на страну идёт меч, и затрубит в рог, чтобы предупредить народ, 4 то тот, кто услышит рог, но не остережётся, и меч, придя, лишит его жизни, – тот сам будет повинен в своей гибели. 5 Раз он услышал рог и не остерёгся, он сам виноват в своей гибели. Если бы он остерёгся, то остался бы жив. 6 Но если страж увидит, что идёт меч, и не затрубит в рог, чтобы предупредить народ, и меч придёт и лишит жизни кого-то из них, то этот человек будет взят за свой грех, а стража за эту гибель Я призову к ответу».
7 Смертный, Я поставил тебя стражем для народа Исраила. Слушай же Моё слово и передавай им Мои предостережения. 8 Если Я скажу нечестивому: «Нечестивый, ты непременно умрёшь», а ты не будешь говорить, чтобы отвести его от злого пути, то нечестивый умрёт за свой грех[a], а за его гибель Я призову к ответу тебя. 9 Но если ты предостерегал нечестивого, чтобы он оставил свой путь, а он этого не сделал, то он умрёт за свой грех, а ты спасёшь душу свою.
10 Смертный, скажи исраильтянам: «Вы говорите: „Наши преступления и грехи гнетут нас. Мы угасаем из-за них[b]. Как нам выжить?“» 11 Скажи им: «Верно, как и то, что Я живу, – возвещает Владыка Вечный, – Я хочу не смерти грешника, но того, чтобы он оставил свой путь и жил. Обратитесь! Оставьте свои неправедные пути! Народ Исраила, зачем вам умирать?»
12 Итак, смертный, скажи соплеменникам: «Праведность не спасёт праведника, если тот согрешит, и нечестие не погубит нечестивого, если он отвернётся от него. Также если согрешит праведник, то он не сможет остаться в живых ради его былой праведности». 13 Если Я скажу праведнику, что он непременно будет жить, а он понадеется на свою праведность и сделает зло, то ни одно из праведных дел, которые он совершил, не вспомнится; он умрёт за то зло, которое сделал. 14 А если Я скажу нечестивому: «Ты непременно умрёшь», а он оставит грех и станет поступать справедливо и праведно: 15 отдаст обратно то, что взял в залог за долги, вернёт украденное, будет исполнять установления, которые дают жизнь, и не будет делать зла, то он непременно будет жить; он не умрёт. 16 Ни один из совершённых им грехов не будет ему припомнен. Он поступает справедливо и праведно: он непременно будет жить.
17 А твои соплеменники говорят: «Путь Владыки несправедлив». Нет, это их пути несправедливы. 18 Если праведник оставит праведность и примется делать зло, то он умрёт за это. 19 А если нечестивый оставит нечестие и станет делать то, что справедливо и праведно, то, поступая так, он будет жить. 20 А вы говорите: «Путь Владыки несправедлив». Я буду судить вас, народ Исраила, каждого по его поступкам.
Падение Иерусалима
21 На двенадцатый год нашего плена, в пятый день десятого месяца (8 января 585 г. до н. э.), ко мне пришёл человек, который спасся из Иерусалима, и сказал: «Город пал!» 22 А вечером, накануне того дня, когда пришёл беженец, рука Вечного была на мне, и Он открыл мои уста, прежде чем беженец утром пришёл ко мне. Он открыл мои уста, и я уже не молчал.
23 И было ко мне слово Вечного:
24 – Смертный, жители этих развалин, что в земле Исраила, говорят: «Ибрахим был совсем один и владел этой землёй, а нас много. Конечно же, эта земля отдана нам во владение!» 25 Поэтому скажи им: Так говорит Владыка Вечный: «Вы едите мясо с кровью, поклоняетесь идолам и проливаете чужую кровь – вам ли владеть этой землёй? 26 Вы полагаетесь на меч, делаете мерзости, и один оскверняет жену другого. Вам ли владеть этой землёй?»
27 Скажи им вот что: Так говорит Владыка Вечный: «Верно, как и то, что Я живу, – оставшиеся в развалинах падут от меча; тех, кто находится в открытом поле, Я отдам на съедение диким зверям; а те, кто сидит в укреплениях и в пещерах, погибнут от мора. 28 Я превращу эту землю в мёртвую пустыню, её гордая мощь исчезнет, и горы Исраила станут такими дикими, что никто не будет по ним проходить. 29 Они узнают, что Я – Вечный, когда Я превращу эту землю в мёртвую пустыню за все те мерзости, которые они сделали».
30 А о тебе, смертный, твои соплеменники разговаривают у стен и дверей домов, говоря друг другу: «Идём, послушаем весть от Вечного». 31 Мой народ ходит к тебе, как обычно, и садится пред тобой слушать твои слова, но не исполняет их. На устах у них – лесть, а сердца тянутся к нечестной поживе. 32 Истинно говорю, ты для них что певец, поющий о любви красивым голосом и хорошо играющий: они слышат твои слова, но не исполняют их.
33 Когда всё это сбудется, – а сбудется это непременно, – тогда они и узнают, что среди них был пророк.

Ezekiel Is Israel's Watchman
33 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 (A)“Son of man, speak to (B)your people and say to them, If (C)I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and make him their (D)watchman, 3 and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and (E)blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, (F)his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 (G)He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life. 6 (H)But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, (I)that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.
7 (J)“So you, (K)son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. (L)Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8 (M)If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, (N)and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, (O)that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 (P)But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, (Q)that person shall die in his iniquity, (R)but you will have delivered your soul.
Why Will You Die, Israel?
10 “And you, (S)son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus have you said: ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and (T)we rot away because of them. (U)How then can we live?’ 11 Say to them, (V)As I live, declares the Lord God, (W)I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; (X)turn back, turn back from your evil ways, (Y)for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 (Z)“And you, son of man, say to (AA)your people, (AB)The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, (AC)and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, (AD)and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness[a] when he sins. 13 Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet (AE)if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. 14 Again, (AF)though I say to the wicked, (AG)‘You shall surely die,’ yet (AH)if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, 15 if the wicked (AI)restores the pledge, (AJ)gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks (AK)in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16 (AL)None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.
17 “Yet (AM)your people say, (AN)‘The way of the Lord is not just,’ when it is their own way that is not just. 18 (AO)When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it. 19 And (AP)when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he shall live by this. 20 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ O house of Israel, (AQ)I will judge each of you according to his ways.”
Jerusalem Struck Down
21 In the (AR)twelfth year (AS)of our exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, (AT)a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and said, (AU)“The city has been struck down.” 22 (AV)Now (AW)the hand of the Lord had been upon me the evening before the fugitive came; and he had opened my mouth by the time the man came to me in the morning, so my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 The word of the Lord came to me: 24 (AX)“Son of man, the inhabitants of these (AY)waste places in the land of Israel keep saying, (AZ)‘Abraham was only one man, yet he got possession of the land; but (BA)we are many; the land is surely given us to possess.’ 25 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: (BB)You eat flesh with the blood and (BC)lift up your eyes to your idols and (BD)shed blood; shall you then possess the land? 26 (BE)You rely on the sword, (BF)you commit abominations, and (BG)each of you defiles his neighbor's wife; shall you then possess the land? 27 Say this to them, Thus says the Lord God: (BH)As I live, surely those who are in (BI)the waste places shall fall by (BJ)the sword, and whoever is in the open field I will give to (BK)the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in (BL)strongholds and in caves shall die by (BM)pestilence. 28 (BN)And I will make the land a desolation and a waste, and (BO)her proud might shall come to an end, and (BP)the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that none will pass through. 29 (BQ)Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a desolation and a waste because of all their abominations that they have committed.
30 “As for you, (BR)son of man, (BS)your people who talk together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses say to one another, each to his brother, ‘Come, and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ 31 (BT)And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for (BU)with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain. 32 And behold, you are to them like one who sings lustful songs with a beautiful voice and (BV)plays[b] well on an instrument, for (BW)they hear what you say, but they will not do it. 33 (BX)When this comes—and come it will!—(BY)then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

The Watchman and His Message
33 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to (A)the children of your people, and say to them: (B)‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their (C)watchman, 3 when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does (D)not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, (E)his blood shall be on his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will [a]save his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, (F)he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 (G)“So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have [b]delivered your soul.
10 “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we (H)pine[c] away in them, (I)how can we then live?” ’ 11 Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, (J)‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked (K)turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For (L)why should you die, O house of Israel?’
The Fairness of God’s Judgment
12 “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The (M)righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, (N)he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’ 13 When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, (O)but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. 14 Again, (P)when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does [d]what is lawful and [e]right, 15 if the wicked (Q)restores the pledge, (R)gives back what he has stolen, and walks in (S)the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16 (T)None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 (U)“Yet the children of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not [f]fair.’ But it is their way which is not fair! 18 (V)When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it. 19 But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it. 20 Yet you say, (W)‘The way of the Lord is not [g]fair.’ O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to his own ways.”
The Fall of Jerusalem
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year (X)of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, (Y)that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, (Z)“The city has been [h]captured!”
22 Now (AA)the hand of the Lord had been upon me the evening before the man came who had escaped. And He had (AB)opened my mouth; so when he came to me in the morning, my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
The Cause of Judah’s Ruin
23 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 24 “Son of man, (AC)they who inhabit those (AD)ruins in the land of Israel are saying, (AE)‘Abraham was only one, and he inherited the land. (AF)But we are many; the land has been given to us as a (AG)possession.’
25 “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: (AH)“You eat meat with blood, you (AI)lift up your eyes toward your idols, and (AJ)shed blood. Should you then possess the (AK)land? 26 You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you (AL)defile one another’s wives. Should you then possess the land?” ’
27 “Say thus to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely (AM)those who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field (AN)I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and (AO)caves shall die of the pestilence. 28 (AP)For I will make the land most desolate, [i]her (AQ)arrogant strength shall cease, and (AR)the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through. 29 Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.” ’
Hearing and Not Doing
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they (AS)speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ 31 So (AT)they come to you as people do, they (AU)sit before you as My people, and they (AV)hear your words, but they do not do them; (AW)for with their mouth they show much love, but (AX)their hearts pursue their own gain. 32 Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do (AY)not do them. 33 (AZ)And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then (BA)they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Hesekiel 33
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Hesekiel påminns om sin uppgift
33 Än en gång kom ett budskap från Herren till mig. Han sa:
2 Du människa, säg så här till ditt folk: Anta att jag låter en armé dra ut i strid mot ett land och folket i det landet utser en vaktpost
3 och att denne slår larm och varnar folket när han ser soldaterna komma.
4 Om någon hör larmet men inte bryr sig om det, så är det hans eget fel om han dör.
5 Han hörde ju varningen men ville inte lyssna. Det är hans eget fel. Om han hade lyssnat till varningen skulle han räddat sitt liv.
6 Men om vaktposten ser fienden komma och inte slår larm och varnar folket, kommer han ensam att vara ansvarig för allas död. De kommer att dö i sin synd, men vaktposten kommer att vara ansvarig för deras död.
7 Så är det med dig, du människa. Jag har utsett dig att vara en vaktpost för Israels folk. Därför ska du lyssna till vad jag säger och varna dem å mina vägnar.
8 När jag säger till den ogudaktige: 'Du kommer att dö!' och du då inte talar ut mitt ord så att han kan göra bättring, kommer han att dö i sin synd, men jag kommer att ställa dig till ansvar för det.
9 Men om du varnar honom och ber honom att göra bättring, kommer han att dö i sin synd om han inte lyder, men du är inte ansvarig för det.
10 Israels folk säger:'Vår synd tynger oss. Vi går under med vår skuld. Hur ska vi kunna leva?'
11 Men så sant jag lever, säger Herren Gud, jag gläder mig inte åt att se någon enda ogudaktig dö. Jag vill att den ogudaktige vänder om från sin onda väg, så att han får leva. Vänd om, vänd om från din ogudaktighet! Varför ska du dö, Israel?
12 En rättfärdig mans goda gärningar kommer inte att rädda honom om han senare syndar, och en ogudaktig mans synd kommer inte att leda honom till döden, om han verkligen gör bättring.
13 Jag har sagt att den gudfruktige ska få leva. Men om han syndar och räknar med att hans tidigare goda gärningar ska rädda honom har han lurat sig själv. Inget av det goda han gjort ska bli ihågkommet. Jag ska döda honom på grund av hans synd.
14 Likaså om jag säger till den ogudaktige att han måste dö, men han då vänder om från sin synd och gör det som är rätt och riktigt,
15 till exempel lämnar igen panten till den som har lånat av honom eller lämnar tillbaka det han har stulit och så vandrar på rätta vägar och inte gör något ont - då ska han få leva.
16 Ingen av hans gamla synder ska dras upp inför honom, för han har vänt sig till det som är gott och ska få leva.
17 Ändå säger man att Herren inte är rättvis. Problemet är att det är ni som inte är det.
18 En gång till säger jag det: När den gudfruktige vänder sig till det som är ont, kommer han att dö.
19 Men om den ogudaktige omvänder sig från sin ondska och gör det som är rätt och rättfärdigt, ska han få leva.
20 Ändå påstår ni att Herren inte är rättvis. Men jag ska döma var och en av er efter hans gärningar.
Landet ska läggas öde
21 Under det tolfte året av vår landsflykt, på femte dagen i tionde månaden, kom en av dem som flytt från Jerusalem och berättade följande för mig: Staden har fallit.
22 Men Herrens hand hade kommit över mig kvällen innan, och han hade botat mig så att jag på nytt kunde tala när mannen kom med nyheterna.
23 Sedan kom detta budskap till mig:
24 Du människa, de utspridda rester av Juda som bor i ruinstäderna säger nu: 'Abraham var en ensam man, och ändå fick han hela landet! Vi är många, så vi borde kunna få det tillbaka!'
25 Men Herren Gud säger: Ni har ingen styrka, för ni gör det som är ont. Ni äter kött med blodet i. Ni tillber avgudar och ni dödar. Tror ni att jag tänker låta er få landet?
26 Mördare! Avgudadyrkare! Äktenskapsbrytare! Skulle ni få landet för er själva?
27 Säg så här till dem: Herren Gud säger: Så sant jag lever ska de som bor bland ruinerna stupa i strid. De som bor ute på fälten ska ätas upp av vilda djur, och de som finns i befästningar och grottor ska dö av pest.
28 Jag ska låta landet bli ödelagt, och det ska bli slut på Israels högfärd och makt. Israels bergsbyar ska bli så öde och övergivna att ingen ska vilja vandra genom dem.
29 När jag har ödelagt landet på grund av folkets synd, ska de förstå att jag är Herren.
30 Du människa, dina landsmän viskar bakom din rygg. De pratar om dig i husen och viskar om dig vid dörrarna och säger: 'Kom, nu ska vi ha roligt! Vi går och hör efter vad Herren har att säga till oss!'
31 De kommer som om de vore uppriktiga och menade allvar, och de sitter framför dig för att lyssna, men de har ingen tanke på att göra vad jag säger till dem. De talar så vackert om att älska Herren, men i sina hjärtan är det pengar de älskar.
32 Du har blivit som en som roar med sång och spel, en underhållare att lyssna till utan att fästa avseende till innehållet i hans budskap.
33 Men när alla dessa fruktansvärda saker händer dem - och de kommer att hända - då ska de förstå att en profet har varit bland dem.

Renewal of Ezekiel’s Call as Watchman
33 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword(A) against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,(B) 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet(C) to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning(D) and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head.(E) 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head.(F) If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves.(G) 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’(H)
7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman(I) for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.(J) 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,(K)’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.(L) 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so,(M) they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.(N)
10 “Son of man, say to the Israelites, ‘This is what you are saying: “Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away(O) because of[b] them. How then can we live?(P)”’ 11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live.(Q) Turn!(R) Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’(S)
12 “Therefore, son of man, say to your people,(T) ‘If someone who is righteous disobeys, that person’s former righteousness will count for nothing. And if someone who is wicked repents, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation. The righteous person who sins will not be allowed to live even though they were formerly righteous.’(U) 13 If I tell a righteous person that they will surely live, but then they trust in their righteousness and do evil, none of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered; they will die for the evil they have done.(V) 14 And if I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just(W) and right— 15 if they give back what they took in pledge(X) for a loan, return what they have stolen,(Y) follow the decrees that give life, and do no evil—that person will surely live; they will not die.(Z) 16 None of the sins(AA) that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live.(AB)
17 “Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just. 18 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil,(AC) they will die for it.(AD) 19 And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so.(AE) 20 Yet you Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to your own ways.”(AF)
Jerusalem’s Fall Explained
21 In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month on the fifth day, a man who had escaped(AG) from Jerusalem came to me and said, “The city has fallen!(AH)” 22 Now the evening before the man arrived, the hand of the Lord was on me,(AI) and he opened my mouth(AJ) before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer silent.(AK)
23 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 24 “Son of man, the people living in those ruins(AL) in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many;(AM) surely the land has been given to us as our possession.’(AN) 25 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Since you eat(AO) meat with the blood(AP) still in it and look to your idols and shed blood, should you then possess the land?(AQ) 26 You rely on your sword, you do detestable things,(AR) and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife.(AS) Should you then possess the land?’
27 “Say this to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague.(AT) 28 I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains(AU) of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them.(AV) 29 Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a desolate(AW) waste because of all the detestable things they have done.’(AX)
30 “As for you, son of man, your people are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the Lord.’ 31 My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before(AY) you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy(AZ) for unjust gain.(BA) 32 Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs(BB) with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.(BC)
33 “When all this comes true—and it surely will—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.(BD)”
