    ^(E)they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
    their faces will be aflame.

⁹Behold, ^(F)the day of the Lord comes,
cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the land a desolation
and ^(G)to destroy its sinners from it.

    a day of distress and anguish,

    and their flesh ^(L)like dung.
¹⁸^(M)Neither their silver nor their gold
    shall be able to deliver them
    on the day of the wrath of the Lord.

^(P)for a full and sudden end
    he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Ezekiel 12:22-28

English Standard Version

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’? ²³Tell 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. ²⁵For 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.”

²⁶And the word of the Lord came to me: ²⁷“Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ^(I)‘The vision that he sees is ^(J)for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ ²⁸Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: ^(K)None of my words will be delayed any longer, ^(L)but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.”
