Because I will destroy out of you the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall My sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;

that the sword may enter in upon Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.

Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast;

Your elder sister who dwells on your left hand is Samaria, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, that dwells on your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

Behold, is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
