Ezekiel 33:29-33 New English Translation (NET)

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.

33. When all this comes true – and it certainly will – then they will know that a prophet was among them.”
