19 Tell the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and Eretz-Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20 The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”’”
21 the Lord’s word came to me, saying,
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in Eretz-Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?’
23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24 For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 For I am the Lord. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
