Ezekiel 33:32

"And, lo, thou art unto 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. And when this cometh to pass (behold, it cometh); then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."

The indication here is that not even the captives believed Ezekiel's prophecy of the total destruction of that conceited Judean remnant. The words in parenthesis here, "behold it cometh" mean that what the prophet had spoken with regard to that bold and arrogant group in Palestine would surely come to pass, just like all of the other things that Ezekiel had prophesied.

The warning in this for Ezekiel, according to Keil was that, "Ezekiel should not be prevented by the improper use of his words from preaching the whole truth to the people."[19] In time, all of the captives would learn the truth.
