THREATENED PUNISHMENTS
ОглавлениеAnd if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. ... And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.... And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
Leviticus xxvi, 18, 19, 33, 36.
