Ezekiel33:32

32 And lo, thou art to them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

These Iews esteem, and regard thee, and what thou sayest, as men regard a skilful Musician, who to a well tuned instrument hath sung the praises of vertue, or of vertuous men; it pleaseth their ear, but it doth not frame their hearts and life to vertue. They loved him for his eloquent lamentation, and reproof of their Enemies, and for foretelling that they should fall, and saying nothing against them, and their sins for these three years past, but when he exhort, or disswades them to duty, or from sin, they'l hear, not do.

Marginal references: Heb. song of loves.
