Ezekiel 12:21-28 (The Message)
View In My Bible
21
God's Message came to me:
22
"Son of man, what's this proverb making the rounds in the land of Israel that says, 'Everything goes on the same as ever; all the prophetic warnings are false alarms'?
23
"Tell them, 'God, the Master, says, This proverb's going to have a short life!'
24
False alarms and easygoing preaching are a thing of the past in the life of Israel.
25
I, God, am doing the speaking. What I say happens. None of what I say is on hold. What I say, I'll do - and soon, you rebels!' Decree of God the Master."
26
God's Message came to me:
27
"Son of man, do you hear what Israel is saying: that the alarm the prophet raises is for a long time off, that he's preaching about the far-off future?
28
Well, tell them, 'God, the Master, says, "Nothing of what I say is on hold. What I say happens."' Decree of God, the Master."
