22. Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have in the land of Israel, saying, “The days are prolonged, and every vision fails”?
23. Tell them therefore, “Thus says the Lord God: I will make this proverb cease so that they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” But say to them, The days are at hand and the effect of every vision.
24. For there shall be no more any vain vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25. For I the Lord will speak, and the word that I speak shall come to pass. It shall be no more prolonged. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word, and will perform it, says the Lord God.
26. Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27. Son of man, look, the house of Israel says, “The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of the times that are far off.”
28. Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: There shall none of My words be prolonged anymore, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, says the Lord God.
