“Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,”
Say to the forest of the south: Hear the word of the Lord God, declaring that God will kindle a fire that will consume every green tree and every dry tree, leaving none spared. The forest metaphor represents the land and its population, with green and dry trees symbolizing all inhabitants regardless of status or righteousness. The comprehensive fire consuming without discrimination establishes the totality and indiscriminateness of coming judgment.
