Ezekiel 12:21-25
New American Standard Bible
21 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 22 “Son of man, what is this (A)proverb you people have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The (B)days are long, and every (C)vision fails’? 23 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “I will put an end to this proverb so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel.” But tell them, “(D)The days are approaching as well as the [a]fulfillment of every vision. 24 For there will no longer be any [b](E)false vision or deceptive divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I the Lord will speak whatever (F)word I speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in (G)your days, you (H)rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it,” declares the Lord God.’”

Ezekiel 12:21-25
Revised Standard Version
21 And the word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days grow long, and every vision comes to nought’? 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, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment[a] of every vision. 24 For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak the word which I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, says the Lord God.”
