Ezekiel - 20:46 Meaning
“Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
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.
“And the number of them, after their genealogy by their generations, heads of the house of their fathers, mighty men of valour, was twenty thousand and two hundred.”
