22. “Human being, what is this saying you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’?
23. So say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I will make them stop saying this. Then nobody in Israel will use it anymore.’ But tell them, ‘The time is near when every vision will come true.
24. There will be no more false visions or pleasing prophecies inside the nation of Israel.
25. This is because I, the Lord God, will speak. What I say will be done. It will not be delayed. You are a people who refuse to obey. And in your time I will say the word and do it, says the Lord God.’”
26. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said:
27. “Human being, look! The people of Israel are saying this: ‘The vision that Ezekiel sees is for a time many years from now. He is prophesying about times far away.’
28. “So say to them: ‘The Lord God says this: None of my words will be delayed anymore. What I have said will be done, says the Lord God.’”
