Ezekiel 33:30-32

New King James Version

Hearing and Not Doing

³⁰ “As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they ^(A)speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ ³¹ So ^(B)they come to you as people do, they ^(C)sit before you as My people, and they ^(D)hear your words, but they do not do them; ^(E)for with their mouth they show much love, but ^(F)their hearts pursue their own gain. ³² Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do ^(G)not do them.
