“ What do you people mean by using this proverb about the land of Israel, saying,‘ The fathers eat sour grapes, But it is the children’s teeth that have become blunt’?As I live,” declares the Lord God,“ you certainly are not going to use this proverb in Israel anymore.

They have lied about the Lord And said,“ Not He; Misfortune will not come upon us, Nor will we see sword or famine.The prophets are as wind, And the word is not in them. So it will be done to them!”

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,and saying,“ Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation.”

Who say,“ Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see it; And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach And come to pass, so that we may know it!”

“ Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying,‘ What is the pronouncement of the Lord?’ then you shall say to them,‘ What pronouncement?’ The Lord declares,‘ I will abandon you.’Then as for the prophet or the priest or the people who say,‘ The pronouncement of the Lord,’ I will bring punishment upon that person and his household.This is what each one of you will say to his neighbor and to his brother:‘ What has the Lord answered?’ or,‘ What has the Lord spoken?’For you will no longer remember the pronouncement of the Lord, because every person’s own word will become the pronouncement, and you have perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of armies, our God.This is what you will say to that prophet:‘ What has the Lord answered you?’ and,‘ What has the Lord spoken?’And if you say,‘ The pronouncement of the Lord!’ for that reason the Lord says this:‘ Because you said this word,“ The pronouncement of the Lord!” I have also sent word to you, saying,“ You shall not say,‘ The pronouncement of the Lord!’ ” ’Therefore behold, I will certainly forget you and thrust you away from My presence, along with the city which I gave you and your fathers.I will put an everlasting disgrace on you and an everlasting humiliation which will not be forgotten.”

“ Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb about you, saying,‘ Like mother, like daughter.’
