24 “There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel.
25 For I am the lord! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays, you rebels of Israel. I will fulfill my threat of destruction in your own lifetime. I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!”
26 Then this message came to me from the lord:
27 “Son of man, the people of Israel are saying, ‘He’s talking about the distant future. His visions won’t come true for a long, long time.’
28 Therefore, tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign lord says: No more delay! I will now do everything I have threatened. I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!’”
