18Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;
19And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.
20And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
22Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?
23For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.
