The people of Judah say to me, "Jeremiah, you claimed to tell us what the LORD has said. So why hasn't it come true?"
And you say, "Let the holy God of Israel hurry up and do what he has promised, so we can see it for ourselves."
Ezekiel, son of man, you've heard people in Israel use the saying, "Time passes, and prophets are proved wrong."
You look forward to the day when the LORD comes to judge. But you are in for trouble! It won't be a time of sunshine; all will be darkness.
You have worn out the LORD with your words. And yet, you ask, "How did we do that?" You did it by saying, "The LORD is pleased with evil and doesn't care about justice."
