What Does Ezekiel 12:25 Mean?
God establishes the absolute reliability of His word: 'I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass.' This is not a qualified or tentative statement but an assertion of God's nature and character—His word is effective and certain.
'It shall be no more prolonged'—God is directly answering the proverb that claimed endless delay. The judgment is no longer deferred; it will occur 'in your days.' The rebellious house will witness fulfillment, not send it to descendants. The word will be spoken, and God will perform it.
