Ezekiel 33 — Context

26

You rely on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’

27

“This is what you must say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease.

28

I will turn the land into a desolate ruin; her confident pride will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will be so desolate no one will pass through them.

29

Then they will know that I am the LORD when I turn the land into a desolate ruin because of all the abominable deeds they have committed.’

30

“But as for you, son of man, your people(who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another,‘Come hear the word that comes from the LORD.’

31

They come to you in crowds, and they sit in front of you as my people. They hear your words, but do not obey them. For they talk lustfully, and their heart is set on their own advantage.

32

Realize that to them you are like a sensual song, a beautiful voice and skilled musician. They hear your words, but they do not obey them.
