Ezekiel 12:21-28 - A Deceptive Proverb Stopped
21 Then the word of Jehovah came to me: 22 Son of man, what is this proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel. You say: 'The days are long and every vision fails?'
23 Therefore say to them: 'The Lord Jehovah says: 'I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel. Tell them: 'The days draw near as well as the fulfillment of every vision.' 24 There will no longer be any false visions or flattering fortune telling to the people. 25 I Jehovah will speak. Everything that I say will happen without any more delay. I will say something, and it will happen during your rebellious lifetime, declares the Almighty God Jehovah.
26 Jehovah continued to speak his word to me: 27 Son of man, the people of Israel are saying, 'The vision that Ezekiel sees will not happen for a long time. What he prophecies will happen in the distant future.' 28 Tell them: 'This is what the Lord Jehovah says:' Everything that I say will no longer be delayed. Whatever I say will happen, declares the Lord Jehovah.'
