Ezekiel 12:25

Ezekiel 12:25

23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘ ^a“The days are at hand, and the¹ fulfillment of every vision.

24 For ^ano more shall there be any ^bfalse vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25 For I am the Lord. I speak, and ^athe word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and ^bperform it,” says the Lord God.’ ”

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

27 ^a“Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is ^bfor many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’

28 ^aTherefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak ^bwill be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

word . . . shall come to pass—in opposition to their scoff "the vision faileth" (Ezekiel 12:22). The repetition, "I will speak . . . speak," etc. (or as FAIRBAIRN, "For I, Jehovah, will speak whatever word I shall speak, and it shall be done") implies that whenever God speaks, the effect must follow; for God, who speaks, is not divided in Himself (Ezekiel 12:28; Isaiah 55:11; Daniel 9:12; Luke 21:33).

no more prolonged—in opposition to the scoff (Ezekiel 12:22), "The days are prolonged."

in your days—while you are living (compare Matthew 24:34).
