²²“Son of man,^j what is this proverb you people have^k about the land of Israel, saying,^l ‘The days are prolonged,^m and every vision has come to nothing.’ ²³Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I will put an end to this proverb, and they will not quote it as a proverb again in Israel.” ’ Butⁿ say to them, ‘The days are near, and also the word of every vision.’ ²⁴For there will not be any longer any false vision^o or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel. ²⁵For I, Yahweh, I will speak what I will speak as a word, and it will be done. It will not prolong itself any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word and I will fulfill it!” declares^p the Lord Yahweh. ²⁶And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,^q ²⁷“Son of man,^r look! The house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he is seeing is for many days from now, and for distant times he is prophesying.’ ²⁸Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “None of my words will be prolonged any longer that I speak as a word, and it will be fulfilled!” ’ ” declares^s the Lord Yahweh.
