33:30 「人子啊,你本國的子民在牆垣旁邊、在房屋門口談論你。弟兄對弟兄彼此說:『來吧!聽聽有甚麼話從耶和華而出。』
33:31 他們來到你這裡如同民來聚會,坐在你面前彷彿是我的民。他們聽你的話卻不去行;因為他們的口多顯愛情,心卻追隨財利。
33:32 他們看你如善於奏樂、聲音幽雅之人所唱的雅歌,他們聽你的話卻不去行。
33:33 看哪,所說的快要應驗;應驗了,他們就知道在他們中間有了先知。」
“As for you, son of man, your people who
talk together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, say to one
another, each to his brother, ‘Come, and hear what the word is that comes from
the Lord.’ And they come to you as
people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say
but they will not do it; for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their
heart is set on their gain. And behold,
you are to them like one who sings lustful songs with a beautiful voice and
plays well on an instrument, for they hear what you say, but they will not do
it. When this comes—and come it
will!—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

被擄的以色列人現在認為以西結是真先知,但是他們對這件事情的反應是:去聽聽先知的預言。這就是一般人聽講道的心態,用一種事不關己的態度來面對先知的話,聽了卻不去行。因為,這些人根本不知道什麼是「先知」,個不理會先知的信息。
今日教會做禮拜的會眾,是不是也是存著「聽演講」的心理來教會?只把講道當作人生的參考,不將講員釋放的信息當成上帝的話,認為聽從也好,不聽從也好,這樣的人就會失去上帝所要賜的福分!因為上帝的話,是要聽完而遵行,就會蒙福!
讓我們用熱切的心來聽道,並且努力遵行,這樣我們就可以靠耶穌基督得著永生了!
