Deuteronomy 29:22

Ver. 22. So that the generation— It is in the Hebrew, and the generation.

The meaning is, "whenever your impieties arrive at such a height as to bring your nation under the terrible desolation before spoken of, [ch. 28:] Providence will do it in such a manner as shall convince all considerate persons, that it is the effect of the just judgment of heaven upon your disobedience, and a perfect completion of the very threats now left on record."
