Yehezkiel 20:11

20:11 I gave them my statutes ¹  and revealed my regulations to them. The one ²  who carries ³  them out will live by them! ⁴ 

Yehezkiel 33:30-33

33:30 “But as for you, son of man, your people ⁵  (who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another, ⁶  ‘Come hear the word that comes ⁷  from the Lord.’ 33:31 They come to you in crowds, ⁸  and they sit in front of you as ⁹  my people. They hear your words, but do not obey ¹⁰  them. For they talk lustfully, ¹¹  and their heart is set on ¹²  their own advantage. ¹³  33:32 Realize ¹⁴  that to them you are like a sensual song, a beautiful voice and skilled musician. ¹⁵  They hear your words, but they do not obey them. ¹⁶  33:33 When all this comes true – and it certainly will ¹⁷  – then they will know that a prophet was among them.”
