Ezekiel 20:45-47

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁵ The word of the Lord came to me: ⁴⁶ Son of man, turn your face to the south. Preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land of the Negeb. ⁴⁷ Say to the forest of the Negeb: Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will burn up every green tree in you and every dry tree. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and from south to north every face shall be scorched by it.
