Ezekiel 20:47-51

and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of the Lord: this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not go out and the entire surface from south to north will be scorched by it.

And all mankind will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it will not go out.” ’ ”

Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking in riddles?’ ”
