Ezekiel 20:44-46

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁴ You will know that I am the Lord when I deal with you thus for your name’s sake, and not as your wicked behavior and corrupt deeds deserve, O house of Israel, says the Lord God.

⁴⁵ The word of the Lord came to me: ⁴⁶ Son of man, turn your face to the south. Preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land of the Negeb.
