Ezekiel 20:45-49

Authorized (King James) Version

⁴⁵ Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ⁴⁶ Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; ⁴⁷ and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. ⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

⁴⁹ Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
