Looking up the reference to the Dry Bones song in Fall Out was probably my first experience with the Biblical book of Ezekiel. But, curious teen that I was back then, I began to read the book from the beginning, and noticed a couple of other passages that directly connect to Fall Out. Here is one of them. Think about No. 6 speaking before the assembly, and everyone shouting him down and totally ignoring what he is trying to say.
[i]Ezekiel 33
33:30
The Lord said, "Mortal man, your people are talking about you when they meet by the city walls or in the doorways of their houses. They say to one another, "Let's go and hear what word has come from the Lord now.'
33:31
So my people crowd in to hear what you have to say, but they don't do what you tell them to do. Loving words are on their lips, but they continue their greedy ways.
33:32
To them you are nothing more than an entertainer singing love songs or playing a harp. They listen to all your words and don't obey a single one of them.
33:33
But when all your words come true
