Ezekiel 12:23-25 forms the immediate context: God declares His words will no longer be delayed — culminating in v.28.

Ezekiel 12:25 is the immediate predecessor stating the same promise — that God's word will be performed without delay.

In Ezekiel 7:7, the same prophet declares 'the day is near' — reinforcing the theme of imminent judgment and no further delay.

Matthew 24:48-51 warns the servant who thinks his master is delayed — directly opposing the false assumption that God's words are postponed.

Jeremiah 1:12 says God watches over His word to perform it — the same assurance that His word will certainly be fulfilled.

Jeremiah 17:15 records skeptics mocking 'Where is the word of the Lord?' — the very doubt that Ezekiel 12:28 answers with certainty.

Luke 12:45 depicts a servant who assumes his master is delayed — the opposite of Ezekiel's declaration that God's word will not be delayed.
