KJV ORIGINAL
And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

Tell the southern forests: 'Listen to what God is saying. I'm about to start a fire that will consume everything — the healthy trees and the dead ones alike. This fire won't go out, and it's going to burn across the entire land from south to north.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When God brings judgment, nothing escapes — it's total and unstoppable.
