Ezekiel 33:30-33
Lexham English Bible
30 “And you, son of man,[a] your people,[b] the ones talking together concerning you beside the walls and in the doorways of the houses, each one with his brother saying,[c] ‘Please come and hear what is the word that is going out from Yahweh.’[d] 31 And they come to you as people do,[e] and they sit before you,[f] and my people hear your words, and they do not do them, for they are showing[g] passion in their mouth, but their heart is going after ill-gotten gain. 32 Now, look! You are to them like a sensual song,[h] beautiful of voice and played well on an instrument,[i] and they hear your words, but they are not doing them.[j] 33 So[k] when it comes,[l] look! It is coming! And then they will know that a prophet was in the midst of them.”

English Standard Version
30 “As for you, (A)son of man, (B)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 (C)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 (D)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 (E)plays[a] well on an instrument, for (F)they hear what you say, but they will not do it. 33 (G)When this comes—and come it will!—(H)then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
