Ezekiel 12:22–28

²²“Son of man, what is this proverb you people have about the land of Israel, ⁱwhich goes:

The days keep passing by, ^j

and every vision fails?

²³Therefore say to them: This is what the Lord God says: I will put a stop to this proverb, and they will not use it again in Israel. ^kBut say to them: The days draw near, ^las well as the fulfillment of every vision. ²⁴For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination ^mwithin the house of Israel. ²⁵But I, Yahweh, will speak whatever message I will speak, and it will be done. ⁿIt will no longer be delayed. ^oFor in your days, rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

²⁶The word of the Lord came to me: ²⁷“Son of man, notice that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees concerns many years from now; ^phe prophesies about distant times.’ ²⁸Therefore say to them: This is what the Lord God says: None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
