And the word of the Lord came to me:
“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, says the Lord.’
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 naught’?
Truly, I say to you, all this will come upon this generation.
