Ezekiel 21:3-5

3Say to the brush land of the South: ‘Hear the word of Adonai!’ Thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Behold, I will kindle a fire in you. It will devour every moist tree in you and every dry tree. Its leaping flame will not be extinguished. All faces from the south to the north will be scorched by it.

4All flesh will see that I, Adonai, have kindled it; it will not be extinguished.’”

5Then I said, “Ah, Adonai! They say of me. ‘Isn’t he just speaking in parables?’”
