“Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?”
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?”
““Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel,‘The days pass slowly, and every vision fails’?”
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: The days shall be prolonged, and every vision shall fail.”
“Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?”
“Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?”
and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and despoiled of all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.
For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
