THEY KNOW THAT A PROPHET HATH BEEN AMONG THEM

EZEKIEL 33:25-33

WHEREFORE SAY UNTO THEM, 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; 

YE EAT WITH THE BLOOD, 

AND LIFT UP YOUR EYES 

TOWARD YOUR IDOLS, 

AND SHED BLOOD: AND SHALL 

YE POSSESS THE LAND? 

YE STAND UPON YOUR SWORD, 

YE WORK ABOMINATION, 

AND YE DEFILE EVERY ONE 

HIS NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE: 

AND SHALL YE POSSESS THE LAND? 

SAY THOU THUS UNTO THEM, 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; 

AS I LIVE, SURELY THEY 

THAT ARE IN THE WASTES 

SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, 

AND HIM THAT IS IN THE 

OPEN FIELD WILL I GIVE 

TO THE BEASTS TO BE DEVOURED, 

AND THEY THAT BE IN 

THE FORTS AND IN THE CAVES 

SHALL DIE OF THE PESTILENCE. 
FOR 

I WILL LAY 

THE LAND MOST DESOLATE, 

AND 

THE POMP OF HER 

STRENGTH SHALL CEASE; 

AND 

THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL 

SHALL BE DESOLATE, 

THAT NONE SHALL PASS THROUGH. 

THEN SHALL THEY KNOW THAT

 I AM THE LORD, 

WHEN I HAVE LAID THE LAND 

MOST DESOLATE 

BECAUSE OF ALL 

THEIR ABOMINATIONS 

WHICH THEY HAVE COMMITTED. 

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 

THEY COME UNTO 

THEE AS THE PEOPLE COMETH, 

AND 

THEY SIT BEFORE THEE AS MY PEOPLE, 

AND 

THEY HEAR THY WORDS, 

BUT THEY WILL NOT DO THEM: 

FOR 

WITH THEIR MOUTH 

THEY SHEW MUCH LOVE, 

BUT THEIR HEART GOETH 

AFTER THEIR COVETOUSNESS. 

AND, LO, THOU ART UNTO THEM 

AS A VERY LOVELY SONG OF ONE 

THAT HATH A PLEASANT VOICE, 

AND 

CAN PLAY WELL ON AN INSTRUMENT: 

FOR 

THEY HEAR THY WORDS, 

BUT THEY DO THEM NOT. 

AND WHEN THIS 

COMETH TO PASS,

 (LO, IT WILL COME,) 

THEN SHALL 

THEY KNOW 

THAT A PROPHET HATH 

BEEN AMONG THEM. 

 

LOVE
