So that the generation to
come of your children that shall rise up after you and the
stranger that shall come from a far land, say when they see the
plagues of that land, and the diseases wherewith the LORD hath
smitten it, how all the land is burnt up with brimstone and salt,
that it is neither sown nor beareth, nor any grass groweth
therein, after the overthrowing of Sodom, Gomor, Adama and Zeboim:
which the LORD overthrew in his wrath and anger. And then all
nations also say: wherefore hath the LORD done of this fashion
unto this land? O how fierce is this great wrath? And men shall
say: because they left the testament of the LORD God of their
fathers which he made with them, when he brought them out of the
land of Egypt. And they went and served strange gods and
worshipped them: gods which they knew not and which had given them
nought. And therefore the wrath of the LORD waxed hot upon that
land to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this
book. And the LORD cast them out of their land in anger, wrath and
great furiousness, and cast them into a strange land, as it is
come to pass this day. The secrets pertain unto the LORD our God
and the things that are opened pertain unto us and our children
for ever, that we do all the words of this law.
