Ezekiel 12:23 in Context — Ezekiel 12

21 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

22 Hijo del hombre, ¿qué refrán es este que tenéis vosotros en la tierra de Israel, diciendo: Prolongarse han los días, y perecerá toda visión?

23 Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Haré cesar este refrán, y no repetirán más este dicho en Israel. Diles pues: Se han acercado aquellos días, y la palabra de toda visión.

24 Porque no habrá más alguna visión vana, ni habrá adivinación de lisonjeros en medio de la casa de Israel.

25 Porque yo Jehová hablaré; cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré; no se dilatará más: antes en vuestros días, oh casa rebelde, hablaré palabra, y cumpliréla, dice el Señor Jehová.
