Ezekiel 12:22–28

²²“Son of man, what is this ^aproverb you people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The ^bdays are long, and every ^cvision fails’?

²³“Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel.” But speak to them, “^aThe days draw near as well as the ¹fulfillment of every vision.

²⁴“For there will no longer be any ^aworthless vision or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.

²⁵“For I, Yahweh, will speak, and whatever ^aword I speak will be done. It will no longer be delayed, for in ^byour days, O ^crebellious house, I will speak the word and do it,” declares Lord Yahweh.’”

²⁶Furthermore, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²⁷“Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he beholds is for ^amany ¹years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’

²⁸“Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be done,” ’ ” declares Lord Yahweh.
