Ezekiel 20:47-49

Young's Literal Translation

⁴⁷ and thou hast said to the forest of the south: Hear a word of Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am kindling in thee a fire, And it hath devoured in thee every moist tree, and every dry tree, Not quenched is the glowing flames, And burnt by it have been all faces from south to north.

⁴⁸ And seen have all flesh, that I, Jehovah, have kindled it -- it is not quenched.'

⁴⁹ And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, They are saying of me, Is he not using similes?
