12 21 And the word of Yahweh came to me: 12 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?' 12 23 Tell them therefore, 'Thus says Yahweh 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 of every vision. 12 24 For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 12 25 But I Yahweh 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 Yahweh GOD."
12 26 Again the word of Yahweh came to me: 12 27 "Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, 'The vision that he sees is for many days hence, and he prophesies of times far off.' 12 28 Therefore say to them, Thus says Yahweh GOD: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word which I speak will be performed, says Yahweh GOD."
