Ezekiel 12:22 Context
20And the cities that are inhabited, shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate, and yee shall know that I am the Lord. 21¶ And the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying; 22Sonne of man, what is that prouerbe, that ye haue in the land of Israel, saying; The dayes are prolonged, and euery vision faileth? 23Tell them therefore, Thus sayth the Lord God; I will make this prouerbe to cease, and they shall no more vse it as a prouerbe in Israel: but say vnto them, The dayes are at hand, and the effect of euery vision. 24For there shall bee no more any vaine vision, nor flattering diuination, within the house of Israel.
