Ezekiel21:30

30 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.

Some read it without interrogation, as an advice to the Ammonites to put up the Sword they had drawn for their defence, as being to no purpose to resist, if it be an interrogation, 'tis such as more vehemently denieth. God will by no means suffer the Sword to be sheathed, in this sense it refers to the Sword of the Chaldeans.

Plead, condemn, and execute too.

Explained by that which follows, though they might boast of their antient original, and their safe and impregnable strengths, yet God will bring a Sword into those very places, and there they should perish.

Marginal references: Or, cause it to return.; Jer. 47.6, 7.
