Ezekiel 20:46 In-Context

44 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, says the Lord GOD."
45 And the word of the LORD came to me:
46 "Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest land in the Negeb;
47 say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you and every dry tree; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from south to north shall be scorched by it.
48 All flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."
