Ezekiel, Israel’s Watchman

Eze 33:18-19 LSB -

2Pe 2:20-22 LSB -
[20] For if they are overcome, having [both] escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and having again been entangled in them, [then] the last state has become worse for them than the first.
[21] For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.
[22] The [message] of the true proverb has happened to them, "A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, [returns] to wallowing in the mire."

Eze 33:30-33 LSB - 

[30] "But as for you, son of man, the sons of your people who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, 'Come now and hear what the word is which comes forth from Yahweh.' 

[31] "They come to you as people come and sit before you [as] My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires [expressed] by their mouth, [and] their heart goes after their greedy gain. 

[32] "Behold, you are to them like a lustful song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not do them. 

[33] "So when it comes to pass--behold, it is coming--then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst."
