Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, [and] the vision has perished?

Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you afflicted men, and you princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.

Because you have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us; we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected.

And I have come to inform you of all that shall befall your people in the last days, for the vision [refers] to [many] days yet [to come].

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