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.

24

For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25

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.

Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

27

Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
