Ezekiel 20:45-47

Modern English Version

A Prophecy Against the Negev

⁴⁵ Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ⁴⁶ Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest land in the Negev. ⁴⁷ And say to the forest of the Negev, Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you and every dry tree. The flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned in it.
