BRAGADAYJAH 368
Yet another form of
chastisement the Lord promised to His people was that of famine. For He says, “And if you will not for all
this hearken unto me, but walk contrary to me, then I will walk contrary unto
you in fury, and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And
you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters. And I
will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses
unto the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring
your sanctuaries into desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet
odors.”
“Further, I will bring your
land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at
it; and I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out a sword after
you; and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. Then shall the land
enjoy her Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies
land; even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbath. As long as it lies
desolate it shall rest because it did not rest in your Sabbaths when you dwelt
in it. More
