According to Ezekiel, God is telling him that people are talking about him secretly and inviting each other to come and listen to the messages that God shares. It's like when kids whisper about a surprise and want everyone to come and hear the story.

Ezekiel 33:30: Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

Contradiction with James 1:22
