"But as for you, son of man, ^(F1)your fellow citizens who talk with one another about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak one with another, each with his brother, saying, '^(C1)Come now and hear what the ^(F2)message is that comes from the LORD.'

"And they come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them; for they do the lustful desires expressed by their ^(C1)mouth, and their heart follows their unlawful ^(C2)gain.

"And behold, you are to them like a love song by one who has a ^(C1)beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not practice them.

"So when it ^(C1)comes—^(F1)as it certainly will—then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
