Ezekiel 20:49

Then I said, “O sovereign Lord! They are saying of me, ‘Does he not simply speak in eloquent figures of speech?’”

Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD! They are saying of me, ‘Isn’t he just telling parables?’"

Then I said, "Ah Lord GOD! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking parables?’"

Then I said, "O Sovereign LORD, they are saying of me, ‘He only talks in riddles!’"

And I said, "O GOD, everyone is saying of me, 'He just makes up stories.'"

Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?

Then I said, "Ah Lord GOD! they are saying of me, ‘Is he not a maker of allegories?’"

Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’"

Then I said, “O sovereign Lord! They are saying of me, ‘Does he not simply speak in eloquent figures of speech?’”
