Ezekiel 20:45-49

45And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 46Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [words] against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; 47and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby. 48And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 49And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
