30. Shall I cause it to return into his sheath--namely, without first
destroying Ammon. Certainly not
(Jer 47:6, 7).
Others, as the Margin, less suitably read it imperatively,
"Cause it to return," that is, after it has done the work appointed to
it.
in the land of thy nativity--Ammon was not to be carried away captive
as Judah, but to perish in his own land.
