48 Everyone will see that I the Lord have kindled it; it will not be quenched.' "
48 And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
48 All flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."
48 Everyone is going to see that I, God, started the fire and that it's not going to be put out.'"
48 All flesh shall see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched." ' "
48 And everyone in the world will see that I, the Lord, have set this fire. It will not be put out.'"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 20:48
Commentary on Ezekiel 20:45-49
(Read Ezekiel 20:45-49)
Judah and Jerusalem had been full of people, as a forest of trees, but empty of fruit. God's word prophesies against those who bring not forth the fruits of righteousness. When He will ruin a nation, who or what can save it? The plainest truths were as parables to the people. It is common for those who will not be wrought upon by the word, to blame it.
