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 the Lord God, “I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel.” But tell them, “^aThe days draw near as well as the ¹fulfillment of every vision.

²⁴“For there will no longer be any ^1afalse vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

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

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

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

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