²²‘And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it,— ²³(with brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,)— ²⁴yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?

²⁵‘And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them—gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them; ²⁷and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book, ²⁸and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as at this day.

²⁹‘The things hidden are to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed are to us and to our sons—to the age, to do all the words of this law.
