Son of man, what do you mean by this parable among the children of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth have been set on edge?

[As] I live, says the Lord, surely this parable shall no more be spoken in Israel.

And if this people, or the priest, or the prophet, should ask, What is the burden of the Lord? Then you shall say to them, You are the burden, and I will dash you down, says the Lord.

Thus shall you say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, What has the Lord answered? And, what has the Lord said?

But what,[you say], has the Lord our God spoken?

therefore behold, I [will] seize and dash you down and the city which I gave to you and your fathers.

Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

who say, Have not the houses been newly built? This is the caldron, and we are the flesh.

who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].

have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine.

Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them.

You who are approaching the evil day, who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;

knowing this first: that mockers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers died, all things continue as from the beginning of creation."
