Riddle Me This!

Ezekiel 17:2

Son of man, propound a riddle, and speak an allegory to the house of Israel.

Q: Who has a voice, louder than all sound, and inaudible to us?
A: God.

Q: Who has ears, but does not hear?
A: Us.

Q: Why does God speak in riddles?
A: Because we don’t listen when He speaks plainly.
