The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
When this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, “What is the oracle of the Lord?” you shall then say to them, “What oracle? I will forsake you, says the Lord.”
The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have in the land of Israel, saying, “The days are prolonged, and every vision fails”?
Truly I say to you, all these things will come on this generation.
