²² “Son of man, what is this ^(A)proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The ^(B)days are long and every ^(C)vision fails’? ²³ Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel.” But tell them, “^(D)The days draw near as well as the ^[a]fulfillment of every vision. ²⁴ For there will no longer be any ^[b](E)false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. ²⁵ For I the Lord will speak, and whatever ^(F)word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in ^(G)your days, O ^(H)rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it,” declares the Lord God.’”

²⁶ Furthermore, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²⁷ “Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for ^(I)many ^[c]years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ ²⁸ Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,”’” declares the Lord God.
