"Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?"
— Ezekiel 20:49-1964, Bible in Basic English
“Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables? ”
Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;
And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.
Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?
