"Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?"
— Ezekiel 12:22, World English 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 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 tell the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Yahweh 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 those who dwell therein.
The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but tell them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
For I am Yahweh; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord Yahweh.
