45. The Lord said,
46. “Ezekiel, son of man, turn towards the south and warn the forests
47. that I, the Lord God, will start a fire that will burn up every tree, whether green or dry. Nothing will be able to put out the blaze of that fire as it spreads to the north and burns everything in its path.
48. Everyone will know that I started it, and that it cannot be stopped.”
49. But I complained, “Lord God, I don't want to do that! People already say I confuse them with my messages.”
