And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
