And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
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.

Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Israel as Distinct

The verse speaks of "all flesh" seeing the Lord's action, which is a universal statement and does not specifically mention or distinguish Israel in any way. The "it" that is kindled and not quenched refers to a fire, not to Israel's distinctness.
