Ezekiel 12:22

Eze 12:22 Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

Ver. 22. What is that proverb. ] We have also many profane proverbs common among us, as, Thought is free; Every man for himself, and God for us all; Words are but wind; In space comes grace; Fair and softly goes far, &c. The Greeks had many such ill proverbs, Chrysostom complaineth.

The days are prolonged. ] Ludibrium crassum: gross mockery, "Because judgment is not speedily executed," &c.
