Ezekiel 20:47-49

Lexham English Bible

⁴⁷ And you must say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am kindling against you a fire, and it will devour in you every fresh tree and every dry tree; the blaze of the flame will not be quenched, and all the surfaces from the south to the north will be scorched by it. ⁴⁸ And all creatures will see that I, Yahweh, I kindled it—it will not be quenched!”’” ⁴⁹ Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, they are saying about me, ‘Is he not posing a parable?’”
