EZEKIEL 33:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.”
And, lo, you are to them like a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not act upon them, extending the critique: Ezekiel's prophecy is appreciated aesthetically (like beautiful music) but not heeded morally. The metaphor of song emphasizes entertainment rather than instruction.
