It is also a title Jesus used for Himself, highlighting His identification with humanity (<a href="/matthew/8-20.htm">Matthew 8:20</a>). This phrase underscores the prophet's role as a mediator between God and the people.your people are talking about you Ezekiel's audience, the exiled Israelites, are discussing him, indicating that his messages have captured their attention. This reflects the tension between the prophet and the people, who often resisted his warnings. It also shows the dual nature of a prophet's role: being both a messenger and a subject of scrutiny.near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses The city walls and doorways were common places for public discourse in ancient times. This setting suggests that Ezekiel's messages were a topic of widespread discussion, not confined to private or religious settings. It highlights the communal nature of the society and the importance of public opinion.One speaks to another, each saying to his brother This phrase indicates a communal sharing of information, emphasizing the oral culture of the time. It reflects the way messages were spread and discussed among the people, showing the importance of community in understanding and responding to prophetic messages.‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’ The invitation to hear a message from the LORD suggests a recognition of the divine origin of Ezekiel's prophecies. It implies a curiosity or interest in what God is communicating, though the context of the chapter suggests that this interest may be superficial. This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of hearing and responding to God's word, as seen in passages like <a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22</a>, which calls for not just hearing but doing the word.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the Israelites during their exile in Babylon.

Yet of them all alike it was still true that they were much more ready to listen with deferential air to the words of the prophet than to take them to their hearts and act upon them in their life. The prophet is here warned (<a href="/context/ezekiel/33-30.htm" title="Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you 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 comes forth from the LORD.">Ezekiel 33:30-33</a>) not to be misled by the apparent compliance of the people, as he had been before strengthened against their opposition (<a href="/context/ezekiel/3-8.htm" title="Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.">Ezekiel 3:8-9</a>); but it must have carried a pang deep into his heart to know how superficial was the effect of those labours to which he had devoted himself with such faithfulness.Against thee.--Rather, of thee. The people are not represented as opposed to Ezekiel, but rather as enjoying his eloquence, and talking about him as they met one another, but without any serious effort to follow his counsels--much like the treatment of a popular preacher by his people at the present day.By the walls and in the doors.--Better, within the walls. The meaning is, both privately and publicly.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/33.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 30. - The children of thy people. The words, like those of <a href="/ezekiel/14-1.htm">Ezekiel 14:1</a> and Ezekiel 20:1, 49, throw light on the prophet's relations to his people. Now that the long silence was broken, and the prophet spoke with greater freedom than he had ever done before, he acquired a fresh notoriety. The character of his last utterance, vindicating, as it might seem, the claim of the exiles to "possess the land," as against that of the remnant "in the wastes," may even have made him popular. The Authorized Version against is misleading; read, with the margin and the Revised Version, about. There was for the time no open hostility. They talked much, in places of private or public resort, of the prophet's new action. Each invited his neighbor to go and hear the prophet as he spake to them his message from Jehovah. And they came as the people cometh, in crowds, even as my people, the people of Jehovah, with reverent gestures and listening eagerly. Never before, we may well believe, had the prophet had so large or so promising a congregation. But he was taught to look below the surface and to read their thoughts, and there he read, as preachers of all ages have too often read after him, that they were hearers, and not doers (<a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24-27</a>; <a href="/james/1-23.htm">James 1:23-25</a>). In words they showed much love (the LXX. gives "falsehood"), spoke pleasant things, but the root-evil, the besetting sin, was still there. Their heart went after their covetousness (camp. <a href="/matthew/13-22.htm">Matthew 13:22</a>; <a href="/2_timothy/4-10.htm">2 Timothy 4:10</a>). <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>As for you, וְאַתָּ֣ה (wə·’at·tāh) Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_859.htm">Strong's 859: </a> Thou and thee, ye and you son בֶן־ (ḇen-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of man, אָדָ֔ם (’ā·ḏām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_120.htm">Strong's 120: </a> Ruddy, a human being your people בְּנֵ֣י (bə·nê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son are talking הַנִּדְבָּרִ֤ים (han·niḏ·bā·rîm) Article | Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue about you near אֵ֣צֶל (’ê·ṣel) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_681.htm">Strong's 681: </a> A joining together, proximity the city walls הַקִּיר֔וֹת (haq·qî·rō·wṯ) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7023.htm">Strong's 7023: </a> A wall and in the doorways וּבְפִתְחֵ֖י (ū·ḇə·p̄iṯ·ḥê) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> An opening, door, entrance way of their houses. הַבָּתִּ֑ים (hab·bāt·tîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house One חַ֣ד (ḥaḏ) Number - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2297.htm">Strong's 2297: </a> One speaks וְדִבֶּר־ (wə·ḏib·ber-) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue to אֶת־ (’eṯ-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_854.htm">Strong's 854: </a> Nearness, near, with, by, at, among another, אַחַ֗ד (’a·ḥaḏ) Number - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> United, one, first each אִ֤ישׁ (’îš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person saying לֵאמֹ֔ר (lê·mōr) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say to his brother, אָחִיו֙ (’ā·ḥîw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_251.htm">Strong's 251: </a> A brother, ) ‘Come בֹּֽאוּ־ (bō·’ū-) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go and hear וְשִׁמְע֔וּ (wə·šim·‘ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8085.htm">Strong's 8085: </a> To hear intelligently the message הַדָּבָ֔ר (had·dā·ḇār) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause that has come הַיּוֹצֵ֖א (hay·yō·w·ṣê) Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim from מֵאֵ֥ת (mê·’êṯ) Preposition-m | Direct object marker <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case the LORD!? יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/33-30.htm">Ezekiel 33:30 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/33-30.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 33:30 As for you son of man (Ezek.
