29. Then people will know that I am the Lord, when I make the land a barren wasteland because of all the disgusting things that they have done.’
30. “Son of man, your people are talking about you by the walls and in the doorways of their homes. They are saying to each other, ‘Let’s go and hear the word that has come from the Lord.’
31. Then they come to you, as if they are still my people, and they sit down in front of you. They listen to what you say, but they don’t do it. They say that they love me, but in their hearts they chase dishonest profits.
32. To them you are nothing more than a singer with a beautiful voice who sings love songs or a musician who plays an instrument. They listen to your words, but they don’t do them.
33. When all your words come true—and they certainly will come true—these people will know that a prophet has been among them.”
