And the word of the Lord came to me:
And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing’?
“When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the Lord?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden, and I will cast you off, declares the Lord.’
Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
