He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.
And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.
And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
He made a way for a pathway to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he delivered up to destruction.
And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased.
And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.
And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly, as it were to nothing.
And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
And he delivered up their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.
Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.
Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.
And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.
And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.
And he chose David his servant, and took him from the flocks of sheep.
He brought him out to feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.
And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skilfulness of his hands.
Ipse autem est misericors, et propitius fiet peccatis eorum:
et non disperdet eos.
Et multiplicabit convertere iram suam:
et non accendet omnem iram suam.
Et recordatus est quia caro sunt:
spiritus vadens, et non rediens.
Quoties exacerbaverunt eum in deserto:
contristaverunt eum in inaquoso?
Et conversi sunt, et tentaverunt Deum:
et Sanctum Israel exacerbaverunt.
Non sunt recordati manus ejus,
diei qua redemit eos de manu tribulantis.
Sicut posuit in Aegypto signa sua:
et prodigia sua in campo Taneos.
Et convertit in sanguinem flumina eorum:
et imbres eorum, ne biberent.
Misit in eos cynomyiam, et comedit eos:
et ranam, et disperdidit eos.
Et dedit erugini fructus eorum:
et labores eorum locustae.
Et occidit in grandine vineas eorum:
et moros eorum in pruina.
Et traddidit grandini jumenta eorum:
et possessionem eorum igni.
Misit in eos iram indignationis suae:
indignationem, et iram, et tribulationem:
immissiones per angelos malos.
Viam fecit semitae irae suae:
non pepercit a morte animabus eorum:
et jumenta eorum in morte conclusit.
Et percussit omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti:
primordia omnis laboris eorum in tabernaculis Cham.
Et abstulit sicut oves populum suum:
et perduxit eos tamquam gregem in deserto.
Et deduxit eos in spe, et non timuerunt:
et inimicos eorum operuit mare.
Et induxit eos in montem sanctificationis suae:
montem, quem acquisivit dextera ejus.
Et ejecit a facie eorum gentes:
et sorte divisit eis terram in funiculo distributionis.
Et conlocavit in tabernaculis eorum
tribus Israel.
Et tentaverunt, et exacerbaverunt Deum excelsum:
et testimonia ejus non custodierunt.
Et averterunt se, et non servaverunt pactum:
quemadmodum patres eorum.
Conversi sunt in arcum pravum:
in iram concitaverunt eum in collibus suis:
et in sculptilibus suis provocaverunt eum ad aemulationem.
Audivit Deus, et sprevit:
et ad nihilum redegit valde Israel.
Et reppulit tabernaculum Silo:
tabernaculum suum, ubi habitavit in hominibus.
Et tradidit in captivitatem virtutem eorum:
et pulchritudinem eorum in manus inimici.
Et conclusit in gladio populum suum:
et hereditatem suam sprevit.
Juvenes eorum comedit ignis:
et virgines eorum non sunt lamentatae.
Sacerdotes eorum in gladio ceciderunt:
et viduae eorum non sunt ploratae.
Et excitatus est tamquam dormiens Dominus:
tamquam potens crapulatus a vino.
Et percussit inimicos suos in posteriora:
opprobrium sempiternum dedit illis.
Et elegit tribum Juda:
montem Sion, quem dilexit.
Et aedificavit sicut unicornium sanctificationem suam:
in terra fundavit eam in saecula.
Et elegit David servum suum:
et tulit eum de gregibus ovium.
De post foetantes accepit eum:
pasceceret Jacob servum suum,
et Israel hereditatem suam.
Et pavit eos in innocentia cordis sui:
et in intellectibus manuum suarum deduxit eos.
