Ezekiel 12:21-25

Expanded Bible

The Visions Will Come True

²¹ The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying: ²² “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], what is this ·saying [proverb] you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days ·go by [pass slowly; grow long] 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 [^Lput an end to this proverb], and nobody in Israel will use this ·saying [proverb] anymore.’ But tell them, ‘The ·time is [days are] near when every vision will ·come true [be fulfilled]. ²⁴ There will be no more false visions or ·pleasing prophecies [flattering omens/divinations] inside the ·nation [^Lhouse] of Israel, ²⁵ but I, the Lord, will speak. What I say will be done, and it will not be delayed. You ·refuse to obey [are a rebellious house], but in your ·time [days] I will say the word and do it, says the Lord God.’”
