Ezekiel 20:46

the south Though the reference is to Judah and Jerusalem (Ezekiel 21:1-5), the term "south" hardly means the south of Palestine; rather the whole land of Palestine from the point of view of the prophet residing in the north. The "forest of the field" hardly refers to Lebanon, but belongs to the figure, which, however, Lebanon may have suggested (Ezekiel 17:3; Jeremiah 22:23). The "scorching" of all faces from north to south (Ezekiel 20:47) is also part of the figure, though powerfully expressing the effect on all who behold the great judgments on Israel. There may be, however, a certain mixture of figures, those whose faces are scorched being no other than those who, regarded as trees, are consumed viz. all flesh from the south to the north in Israel (Ezekiel 21:3-4).
