Ezekiel 20:45 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:45

Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying.

And here Ben Melech begins one; and so Junius and Tremellius, Piscator, and Castalio.

Ezekiel 20:45 In-Context

43 Then and there you'll remember all that you've done, the way you've lived that has made you so filthy - and you'll loathe yourselves.

44 "'But, dear Israel, you'll also realize that I am God when I respond to you out of who I am, not by what I feel about the evil lives you've lived, the corrupt history you've compiled. Decree of God, the Master.'" Nobody Will Put Out the Fire

45 God's Message came to me:

46 "Son of man, face south. Let the Message roll out against the south. Prophesy against the wilderness forest of the south.

47 "Tell the forest of the south, 'Listen to the Message of God! God, the Master, says, I'll set a fire in you that will burn up every tree, dead trees and live trees alike. Nobody will put out the fire. The whole country from south to north will be blackened by it.
