²¹ The Lord’s message came to me: ²² “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel, ‘The days pass slowly, and every vision fails’? ²³ Therefore tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I hereby end this proverb; they will not recite it in Israel any longer.’ But say to them, ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.^{[a] 24} For there will no longer be any false visions or flattering omens amidst the house of Israel. ²⁵ For I, the Lord, will speak. Whatever word I speak will be accomplished. It will not be delayed any longer. Indeed in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and accomplish it, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
