Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

12:22 Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days {f} are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
(f) Because they did not immediately see the prophecies accomplished, they contemned them as though they would never be fulfilled.

WES:

12:22 That proverb - That short saying commonly used. Days - Of wrath and vengeance, are to come a great while hence. Every vision - Threatening vision, which Jeremiah and Ezekiel would fright us with, comes to nothing.

MHC:

12:21-28 From that forbearance of God, which should have led them to repent, the Jews hardened themselves in sin. It will not serve for an excuse in speaking evil, to plead that it is a common saying. There is but a step between us and an awful eternity; therefore it concerns us to get ready for a future state. No one will be able to put from himself the evil day, unless by seeking peace with the Lord.
