22 Thus will the generation to come, •ay, namely your children which shall succeed after you and the stranger which shall come from a far land, when they see the plagues of this land, and the diseases of it wherewith the Lord shall have smitten it. 23 The brimstone and salt wherewith he shall have burned all his land, so as it shall not be sowed, nor yield fruit, nor have any grass growing thereon, as in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Adam and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and displeasure. 24 Then shall all Nations say, wherefore hath the Lord done this to this Land? O how fierce is his great wrath? 25 And it shall be answered, because they forsook the covenant of the Lord GOD of their fathers, which he made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 26 For they went and served other gods, and bowed themselves before the the same gods whom they knew not, neither had they done them any good. 27 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses written in this book. 28 And the Lord hath rooted them out of their land, in wrath, anger, and great indignation, and he hath thrown them out into an other land as it appeareth at this day. 29 The secretes of the Lord our God be revealed unto us, and to our children for ever, to the intent we should do all the words of this law.
