If we turn ourselves toward the Lord, we can get the full inflowing of His wisdom and love; if we turn away from Him we cast ourselves into cold and shadow -- we turn ourselves toward hell. In the Bible, "turning" generally refers to a change in spiritual state, as people turn themselves toward the Lord or away from the Lord.

In Isaiah 46:1, 'Bel' signifies profanation of truth, with affections in favor of faith separated from life. (Apocalypse Explained 815)
