27 “Say thus to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely athose who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field bI will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and ccaves shall die of the pestilence.
28 aFor I will make the land most desolate,1 her barrogant strength shall cease, and cthe mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through.
29 Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.” ’
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 aspeak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’
31 So athey come to you as people do, they bsit before you as My people, and they chear your words, but they do not do them; dfor with their mouth they show much love, but etheir hearts pursue their own gain.
