Ezekiel 20:47-49 ▼

47 and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh: thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched, and the whole surface from south to north will be scorched by it.

48 And all flesh will see that I, Yahweh, have made it burn; it shall not be quenched.”’”

49 Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking parables?’”
