27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ^y‘The vision that he sees is ^zfor many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’

3 ^ywho say, ^z‘The time is not near¹ to build houses. ^aThis city is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’

4 ^lThey will say, “Where is the promise of ^mhis coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
