Legacy Standard Bible
45 [a]Now the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 46 “Son of man, set your face toward [b]Teman and speak, dripping out words, against the (A)south and (B)prophesy against the (C)forest [c]land of the Negev 47 and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh: thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am about to (D)kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every [d]green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched, and [e](E)the whole surface from south to north will be scorched by it. 48 And all flesh will see that I, Yahweh, have made it burn; it shall (F)not be quenched.”’” 49 Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking (G)parables?’”

Judgment against the Negev
45 [a]Then this message came to me from the Lord: 46 “Son of man, turn and face the south[b] and speak out against it; prophesy against the brushlands of the Negev. 47 Tell the southern wilderness, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Hear the word of the Lord! I will set you on fire, and every tree, both green and dry, will be burned. The terrible flames will not be quenched and will scorch everything from south to north. 48 And everyone in the world will see that I, the Lord, have set this fire. It will not be put out.’”
49 Then I said, “O Sovereign Lord, they are saying of me, ‘He only talks in riddles!’”
