²³ For 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.

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and coming very quickly; the bitter day of the Lord is near, coming on more quickly than a man of war.

¹ Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;

⁸ Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

⁹ Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

³⁴ Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

¹ For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.

³ By my life, says the Lord, you will no longer have this saying in Israel.

²⁵ For I am the Lord; I will say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.

¹⁰ See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.

¹¹ Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

¹² The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:

⁵ This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil; see, it is coming.

⁶ An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.

⁷ The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

² And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.

²² And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.

¹³ He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
