The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
When this people, or the prophet, or a Kohen, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? then shall you tell them, What burden! I will cast you off, says the LORD.
The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in Eretz-Yisra'el, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
