²²“Son of man, you have a proverb in the land of Israel. It says, ‘The days go by, and not even one vision comes true.’ ²³Tell them, ‘The Lord and King says, “I am going to put an end to that proverb. They will not use that saying in Israel anymore.” ’ Tell them, ‘The days are coming soon when every vision will come true. ²⁴There will be no more false visions. People will no longer use magic to find out whether good things are going to happen in Israel. ²⁵I am the Lord. So I will say what I want to. And it will come true when I want it to. In your days I will do everything I say I will. But you people always refuse to obey me,’ announces the Lord and King.”

²⁶A message came to me from the Lord. He said, ²⁷“Son of man, the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision Ezekiel sees won’t come true for many years. He is prophesying about a time that is a long way off.’

²⁸“So tell them, ‘The Lord and King says, “Everything I say will come true. It will happen when I want it to,” announces the Lord and King.’ ”
