Again, the word of the Lord came to me, saying. ] This is repeated to confirm what was before spoken, and that they might assure themselves that there would be a certain and speedy accomplishment of what the Lord had said by his prophet.
24
For why each vision shall no more be void, neither before-telling of thing to coming shall be doubtful in the midst of the sons of Israel;
25
for I the Lord shall speak whatever word I shall speak, and it shall be done; it shall no more be delayed, but in your days, ye house stirring to wrath (ye house stirring me to anger), I shall speak a word, and I shall do that word, saith the Lord God.
26
And the word of the Lord was made to me, and he said,
27
Thou, son of man, lo! the house of Israel, of them that say, The vision which this man seeth, is into many days (yet to come), and this man prophesieth into long times. (Thou, son of man, lo! they of the house of Israel say, The vision which this man seeth is not to be until many days yet to come, and this man prophesieth into times afar off.)
28
Therefore say thou to them, The Lord God saith these things, Each word of me shall no more be deferred (No word of mine shall any more be delayed); the word which I shall speak, shall be [ful]filled, saith the Lord God.
