But we know no other God, therefore we trust that he will not despise us, nor any of our nation.
For if we are overcome, then all Judea will lie waste and our sanctuary will be pillaged; and he will place the blame for the profanation of it at our mouth;
and the slaughter of our brethren and the captivity of the country and the desolation of our inheritance, he will blame on our heads among the Gentiles, wherever we will be in captivity;
and we will be an offence and a reproach to all those who possess us.
