New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 Mortal, what is this proverb of yours about the land of Israel that says, “The days are prolonged, and every vision comes to nothing”?(A) 23 Tell them therefore, “Thus says the Lord God: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall use it no more as a proverb in Israel.” But say to them: “The days are near, and the fulfillment of every vision.(B) 24 For there shall no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.(C) 25 But I the Lord will speak the word that I speak, and it will be fulfilled. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and fulfill it, says the Lord God.”(D)

Lexham English Bible
21 And the word of Yahweh came[a] to me, saying,[b] 22 “Son of man,[c] what is this proverb you people have[d] about the land of Israel, saying,[e] ‘The days are prolonged,[f] and every vision has come to nothing.’ 23 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I will put an end to this proverb, and they will not quote it as a proverb again in Israel.”’ But[g] say to them, ‘The days are near, and also the word of every vision.’ 24 For there will not be any longer any false vision[h] or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel. 25 For I, Yahweh, I will speak what I will speak as a word, and it will be done. It will not prolong itself any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word and I will fulfill it!” declares[i] the Lord Yahweh.
