The righteous and the wicked - take the place of "every green tree and every dry tree"Eze 20:47; "all faces"that of "all flesh:"to show the universality of the destructions. National judgment involves the innocent in the temporal ruin of the guilty. The equity of God is vindicated by the ruin being only temporal.

From the south to the north - From one end of the holy land to the other; the seer is in the north, and looks at once on the whole extent of the ruin.

Poole: Eze 21:4 - -- I will cut off it is both my purpose and threat, to do that by the Chaldeans in such manner as that it shall appear I did it. The righteous signifi...

I will cut off it is both my purpose and threat, to do that by the Chaldeans in such manner as that it shall appear I did it.

The righteous signified by the green tree, Eze 20:47 .

The wicked the dry tree, Eze 20:47 . Go forth ; have a commission, such as I gave Nebuchadnezzar, as large as is necessary for this work.

All flesh all the Jews that dwell in the land; it may somewhat reflect upon the nations near about the Jews, as Moab and Ammon.

From the south as it doth certainly denote the whole of the land of Judea, it may intimate the rise and spring of this evil from the south, i.e. Babylon, and its progress northward.

North, including all the country belonging to Israel.

Gill: Eze 21:4 - -- Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked,.... Some by the sword, some by famine, some by pestilence, and others by capti...

Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked,.... Some by the sword, some by famine, some by pestilence, and others by captivity; and, upon the whole, none spared, but the land left desolate:

therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north; the Chaldean army shall go out of their own land against all the inhabitants of Judea, from Beersheba to Dan; this explains what is meant by all faces being burnt from the south to the north, Eze 20:47, namely, the general destruction of the Jews by the Chaldeans.
