    21¶ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

    22Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

    23Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

    24For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

    25For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.

    26¶ Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

    27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

    28Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.
