23:15. Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all
things prosperous have come: so will he bring upon you all the evils he
hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this
excellent land, which he hath given you,
23:16. When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your
God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods,
and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly
and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this
excellent land, which he hath delivered to you.
