Ezekiel 12 : 7 (LXXEN)

Ezekiel 12 : 12 (LXXEN)

Ezekiel 12 : 19 (LXXEN)
And thou shalt say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are *Gr. in ungodliness ungodly.

Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that ye say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
Ezekiel 12 : 23 (LXXEN)

Ezekiel 12 : 24 (LXXEN)
For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.
