45. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 46. 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; 47. 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. 48. And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 49. Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

Moreover. In the Hebrew Bible vs. 45-49 form the opening to ch. 21. The KJV here follows the LXX, the Vulgate, the Syriac, and Luther’s version in its chapter division. The words “set thy face” seem to connect this section with ch. 21. The same phrase occurs in ch. 21:2.
