Ezekiel 12:24

A Deceptive Proverb Stopped

²³ Therefore tell them, So says the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel. But say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision. ²⁴ For there shall never again be any vain vision nor slippery divination within the house of Israel. ²⁵ For I, Jehovah, will speak, and the Word that I shall speak shall be done. It shall no more be delayed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the Word and will do it, says the Lord Jehovah.
