"“Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel,‘The days pass slowly, and every vision fails’?"
— Ezekiel 12:22, NET Bible
“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 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 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?”
Then say to the people of the land,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says about the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the land of Israel: They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in fright, for their land will be stripped bare of all it contains because of the violence of all who live in it.
The inhabited towns will be left in ruins and the land will be devastated. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
The LORD’s message came to me:
“Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel,‘The days pass slowly, and every vision fails’?
Therefore tell them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I hereby end this proverb; they will not recite it in Israel any longer.’ But say to them,‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.
For there will no longer be any false visions or flattering omens amidst the house of Israel.
For I, the LORD, will speak. Whatever word I speak will be accomplished. It will not be delayed any longer. Indeed in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and accomplish it, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”
