Ezekiel 33:31

Context
33:31 They come to you in crowds, 1  and they sit in front of you as 2  my people. They hear your words, but do not obey 3  them. For they talk lustfully, 4  and their heart is set on 5  their own advantage. 6 

1 tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264.

2 tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation.

3 tn Heb “do.”

4 tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.”

5 tn Heb “goes after.”

6 tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687.
