Ezekiel 15:8
“And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.
And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God.
