⁴⁶ Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop `thy word' toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

² Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop `thy word' toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

¹⁷ So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
