Ezekiel 12:20
Verse 20 of 28. The 12th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
17Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
19Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of 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.
20The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
21The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
22“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
23Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “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.
24For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
