Isaiah 5:19

²²“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?

¹⁵Behold, they ask me, “Where is the LORD’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.”

¹²They have denied the LORD, and said, “It is not he. Evil won’t come on us. We won’t see sword or famine. ¹³The prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them.”

³⁶You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Armies, our God.

⁵Hear the LORD’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.

³knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts ⁴and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

¹⁸“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light. ¹⁹As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

¹⁸For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?

¹¹Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”

²⁷“Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
