46 “Son of man, set your face toward the south, and speak prophetically against the (A)south and (B)prophesy against the (C)forest [a]land of the Negev, 47 and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of the Lord: this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to (D)kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every [b]green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not go out and [c](E)the entire surface from south to north will be scorched by it. 48 And all [d]mankind will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it will (F)not go out.”’”
