Ezekiel 6:14

So will I stretch out My hand upon them, in sending His punishment, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, a desert otherwise unknown, but probably located in Arabia, in all their habitations; and they shall know that I am the Lord. In one form or other, but with constantly increasing emphasis, the Lord brings out His lesson: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked!"
