The word of the Lord came to me:
When 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. I will cast you off, says the Lord.”
The inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Mortal, what is this proverb of yours about the land of Israel that says, “The days are prolonged, and every vision comes to nothing”?
Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation.
