to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in
the caves shall die of the pestilence.
033:028 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment;
and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains
of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
033:029 Then shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I have made
the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all
their abominations which they have committed.
033:030 As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk
of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak
one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, Please come
and hear what is the word that comes forth from Yahweh.
033:031 They come to you as the people comes, and they sit before you
as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them;
for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart
goes after their gain.
033:032 Behold, 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 don't do them.
