have about the land of Israel, saying, d‘The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing’? 23Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.’ But say to them, eThe days are near, and the fulfillment ▼▼Hebrew word
