Ezekiel 12:24

A Deceptive Proverb Stopped

²³ therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the days, And spoken hath every vision. ²⁴ For there is no more any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house of Israel. ²⁵ For I am Jehovah, I speak, The word that I speak -- it is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
