Start Wearing Purple

As for you,
son of man,
your countrymen talk about you...
by the walls
and at the doors of the houses,
saying to each other,
Come and hear the message
that has come from the LORD.
My people come to you,
as they usually do,
and sit before you to listen to your words,
but they do not put them into practice.
With their mouths they express devotion,
but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.
Indeed, to them
you are nothing more
than one who sings love songs
with a beautiful voice
and plays an instrument well,
for they hear your words
but do not put them into practice.
When all this comes true—
and it surely will—
then they will know
that a prophet has been among them.
~ Ezekiel 33
