Ezekiel 12:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 12.
14 And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.
15 And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
16 But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
17 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
19 Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
21 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?
