21 The Lord’s word came to me:
22 Human one, what is this proverb of your people concerning Israel’s fertile land? They say, "The days go by, and every vision vanishes."
23 Therefore, say to them, The Lord God proclaims: I’ll put an end to this proverb! It will never again be uttered in Israel. Tell them instead: The days are coming soon for the fulfillment of every vision.
24 Never again will there be any worthless vision or deceptive divination in the house of Israel.
25 I am the Lord! The word that I speak is the word that I will speak! It will happen and be delayed no longer. In your own days, household of rebels, I speak a word and make it happen. This is what the Lord God says!
26 The Lord’s word came to me:
27 Human one, the house of Israel is now saying, "The vision that he sees is for distant days; he prophesies about future times."
