There Will Be No Delay
21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb(A) you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’?(B) 23 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near(C) when every vision will be fulfilled.(D) 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations(E) among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay.(F) For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill(G) whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.(H)’”
