“Son of man, propose a riddle and tell a parable to the house of Israel.”
The word of Adonai came to me saying,
Then I said, “Ah, Adonai! They say of me. ‘Isn’t he just speaking in parables?’”
Utter a parable concerning the rebellious house. Say to them, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Put on the pot, put it on and then pour water into it.
“Yet I have been Adonai your God, since the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the moed.
I also spoke through the prophets and I multiplied visions. Now through the prophets I will make parables.
in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open My mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
