Context

The Presumptuous Proverb

²³Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.²⁴For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,²⁵because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”

Summary

This verse underscores the certainty of God's word and the faithfulness of His promises, even when they seem delayed from a human perspective. It serves as a reminder to trust in the Lord's perfect timing and sovereignty, knowing that His plans will ultimately be accomplished according to His will. Despite appearances or impatience, God's word will not return void, and His purposes will be fulfilled in due time.
