The LORD’s word to prophesy against the forest of the south, and the speaker’s answer

남방 삼림을 쳐서 예언하라는 여호와의 말씀과 말하는 이의 대답

Ezekiel 20:45–49: the LORD’s word comes to the speaker (“I”), saying, “Son of man, set your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south. Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear the LORD’s word: The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it. All flesh will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it. It will not be quenched.”’” Then the speaker says, “Ah Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’” The Korean Revised Version ends 20:48 with 하셨다 하라 하시기로 (as he said this), joining it to 20:49, and closes 20:49 with 하니라. It reads 남방들의 삼림 (the forest of the southern lands) at 20:46, where WEB reads “the forest of the field in the south”; at 20:47 the subject of its 멸하리니 (will destroy) is the “I” of the Lord GOD’s words, where WEB reads “it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree”; and at 20:48 it reads 알리니 (will know), where WEB reads “will see”.
