"Be still, and know that I am God... I will be exalted in the earth.... For God is the King of all the earth.... He is greatly exalted" (Psalm 46:10, 47:7-9). "Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore: Thus saith the Lord GOD, I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.... For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination.... For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass" (Ezekiel 12:21-25).
What is this proverb we have in our land,
That all things continue as they have before?
Dismissing the evident works of God's hand,
Creation and judgment they wrongly ignore!
Be sure that this proverb shall very soon cease,
For God has declared that His judgment is near.
Though mockers will say that there's safety and peace,
This proverb shall vanish when Christ shall appear.
O Lord, You have said that You're coming again;
That day is approaching; You shall not be halted.
All flattering falsehoods shall surely cease then
When all through the earth You are greatly exalted!
