Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
