Ezekiel 20:47-49

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁷ And say to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.

⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.

⁴⁹ And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?
