\p
\v 45  The word of the \nd Lord\nd* came to me:  
\v 46 “Son of man, turn toward the south, and speak out against the south. Prophesy against the open scrub land of the Negev,  
\v 47  and say to the scrub land of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of the \nd Lord\nd*: This is what the sovereign \nd Lord\nd* says: Look here, I am about to start \w a|strong="H3068"\w* fire in you, and it will devour every green tree and every dry tree in you.

\v 48  And everyone will see that I, the \nd Lord\nd*, have burned it; it will not be extinguished.’”
