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.

Commentary on Ezekiel 20:47

Theological / Devotional

Every green tree. That is, persons of every class — the entire population. If the distinction is one of morality (see ch. 21:4), it should be remembered that in a national catastrophe all who comprise that nation, whether good or bad, suffer. The calamity does not necessarily represent eternal doom upon the individual. Man still has the privilege of personal salvation.
