In context — Ezekiel 20:47

And you shall say to the forest of the Negev, “Hear the word of the LORD ; thus says the Lord GOD : Behold, I am kindling a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be scorched by it.”
