Ezekiel 33:30-33
Legacy Standard Bible
30 “But as for you, son of man, the sons of your people who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, ‘(A)Come now and hear what the word is which comes forth from Yahweh.’ 31 They come to you as people come and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their (B)mouth, and their heart goes after their (C)greedy gain. 32 Behold, you are to them like a lustful song by one who has a (D)beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not do them. 33 So when it (E)comes to pass—behold, it is coming—then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst.”

Ezekiel 33:30-33
International Standard Version
The Disobedient Exiles of Babylon
30 “Now as for you, Son of Man, your nation’s children keep gathering together to talk about you beside the walls and at the doorway to their houses. Everyone tells one another, ‘Please come! Let’s go hear what the Lord has to say!’ 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.”
