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 I cause it to return into his sheath? - namely, without first destroying Ammon. Certainly not (Jeremiah 47:6-7). Others, as margin, less suitably read it imperatively, 'Cause it to return,' - i:e., after it has done the work appointed to it.
I will judge thee ... in the land of thy nativity. Ammon was not to be carried away captive as Judah, but to perish in his own land.
