45 E veio a mim palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
46 Filho do homem, dirige teu rosto em direção ao sul, derrama [tua palavra] ao sul, e profetiza contra o bosque do campo do sul.
47 E dize ao bosque do sul: Ouve a palavra do SENHOR! Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu acenderei em ti um fogo, que consumirá em ti toda árvore verde, e toda árvore seca; a chama do fogo não se apagará, e com ela serão queimados todos os rostos, desde o sul até o norte.

49 Então eu disse: Ah, Senhor DEUS! Eles dizem de mim: Por acaso não é este um inventor de parábolas?
