In Context

45 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop words against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

47 and 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.

48 And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

49 And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
