TSK · Ezekiel 17:2

The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, 'Reign over us.'

Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.

I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.

Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, neither do they understand.

With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
