SCRIPTURE

"Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I, Jehovah, have spoken it." — Ezekiel 21:32 (ASV)

You shall be for fuel for the fire Easily consumed, as briers and thorns cast into a furnace; such are wicked men to the fire of God's wrath: your blood shall be in the midst of the land ; such large numbers shall be slain everywhere, that the land shall flow with the blood of them; who shall lie unburied, and rot, and putrefy upon the ground: you shall be no more remembered ; but lie in everlasting oblivion, as they do to this day; the name of an Ammonite being nowhere mentioned and heard of: for I the Lord have spoken it ; who never alters the thing that is gone out of his lips; and sooner shall heaven and earth pass away than one word of his. The Targum is, ``for I the Lord have decreed by my word;'' and his counsel shall stand, and every purpose and resolution of his shall be accomplished.
