Ezekiel 20:47-49

Modern English Version

⁴⁷ And say to the forest of the Negev, Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you and every dry tree. The flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned in it. ⁴⁸ All flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it. It shall not be quenched.

⁴⁹ Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’ ”
