Yechezkel 20:47-49

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^47 (21:3) And say to the forest of the Negev, Hear the Devar Hashem: Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Hineni, I will kindle an eish in thee, and it shall devour every green etz (tree) in thee, and every dry etz (tree); the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the Negev to the north shall be scorched by it.

^48 (21:4) And all basar shall see that I Hashem have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.

^49 (21:5) Then said I, Ah Adonoi Hashem! They say of me, Doth he not speak meshalim (parables)?
