Ezekiel 33:30–335 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 30 your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother,
- B 30 'Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!'
  - C 31 So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice.
    - D 31 Although they express love with their mouths,
      - E 31 they express love with their mouths,
        F 31 their hearts pursue dishonest gain. (CENTER)
      - E' 32 Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice,
    - D' 32 who skillfully plays an instrument — a pleasant voice and skillful in playing an instrument.
  - C' 32 They hear your words but do not put them into practice.
- B' 33 So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—
A' 33 then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
