Esekiel 12,27

25 For jeg, Herren, vil tale hva enn ord jeg taler, og det vil bli oppfylt uten forsinkelse. For i deres dager, dere opprørske hus, vil jeg tale ordet og utføre det,’ erklærer den suverene Herren.”

26 I tillegg kom et annet budskap fra Herren til meg,

“Menneskesønn, se, Israels hus sier, ‘Visjonen han ser er for mange år fra nå, og han profeterer om den fjerne fremtid.’

28 Derfor si til dem, ‘Dette sier den suverene Herren: Ingen av mine ord vil bli forsinket lenger. Hva enn ord jeg taler vil bli utført,’ erklærer den suverene Herren.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
