God answereth idolaters according to their own heart. They are exhorted to repent, for fear of judgments by means of seduced prophets. God's irrevocable sentence of famine, of noisome beasts, of the sword, and of pestilence. A penitent remnant shall be reserved for example to others.

Before Christ 593.
