ACV(i)
22 Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the lord LORD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel, but say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24 For there shall no more be any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 For I am LORD. I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. It shall be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says the lord LORD.
26 Again the word of LORD came to me, saying,
27 Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord LORD: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the lord LORD.
