Ezekiel:12:17-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
eat thy bread with quaking ,
and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness ;
*
And say unto the people of the land ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
and of the land of Israel ;
They shall eat their bread with carefulness ,
and drink their water with astonishment ,
that her land may be desolate from all that is therein ,
because of the violence of all them that dwell therein .
*
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste ,
and the land shall be desolate ;
and ye shall know that I am the LORD .
*
And the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel ,
saying ,
The days are prolonged ,
and every vision faileth ?
*
Tell 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 .
*
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel .
*
For 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 .
*
Again the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
*
Son 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 .
*
Therefore 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 .
