⁴⁷ Say to that ·forest [or shrubland]: ‘Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord God says: I am ready to start a fire in you that will destroy all your green trees and all your dry trees. The flames that burn will not be put out. Every face from south to north will ·feel their heat [or be scorched by it]. ⁴⁸ Then all ·the people [^Lflesh] will see that I, the Lord, have ·started the fire [kindled it]. It will not be ·put out [extinguished].’”

⁴⁹ Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! The people are saying about me, ‘·He is only [^LIsn’t he just…?] telling ·stories [parables].’”
