24 For [there] will not be any longer {any false vision} or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.

25 For I, Yahweh, I will speak what I will speak [as a] word, and it will be done. It will not prolong [itself] any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word and I will fulfill it!" {declares} the Lord Yahweh.
