Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Go thee one way or other, {either} on the right hand, {or} on the left, whithersoever thy face {is} set. {or on...: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand}

Shall I cause {it} to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. {Shall...: or, Cause it to return}
