Ezekiel 12:22-28

22“Son of man, what is this 1proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The 2days are long and every 3vision fails’? 23Therefore 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, “4The days draw near as well as the 5fulfillment of every vision. 24For there will no longer be any 67false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25For I the Lord will speak, and whatever 8word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in 9your days, O 10rebellious 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 11many 12years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28Therefore 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.
