Ezekiel 20:45-47

New Century Version

Babylon, the Lord’s Sword

⁴⁵ Now the Lord spoke his word to me, saying: ⁴⁶ “Human, look toward the south. Prophesy against the south and against the forest of the southern area. ⁴⁷ Say to that forest: ‘Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord God says: I am ready to start a fire in you that will destroy all your green trees and all your dry trees. The flames that burn will not be put out. Every face from south to north will feel their heat.
