Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’ ”
Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and speak against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
The Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, so that you might do them in the land which you are crossing over to possess.
