Ezekiel 12:21-25
English Standard Version
21 And the word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, (A)what is this proverb that you[a] have about the land of Israel, saying, (B)‘The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing’? 23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.’ But say to them, (C)The days are near, and the fulfillment[b] of every vision. 24 (D)For there shall be no more any (E)false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the Lord; I will speak (F)the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. (G)It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, (H)O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.”

A Deceptive Proverb Stopped
21 Again the word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you people have about the land of Israel,(A) which goes, ‘The days keep passing by,(B) and every vision fails’? 23 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I will put a stop to this proverb, and they will not use it again in Israel.’(C) But say to them, ‘The days have arrived,(D) as well as the fulfillment of every vision. 24 For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination(E) within the house of Israel. 25 But I, the Lord, will speak whatever message I will speak, and it will be done.(F) It will no longer be delayed.(G) For in your days, rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass. This is the declaration of the Lord God.’”
