Ezekiel 20:45-49 - Fire In The South

45 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 46 "Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South; 47 and tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, 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 burnt thereby. 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, 'Isn't he a speaker of parables?'"
