If the land sins — Noah, Daniel, Job§1

1 If a land sins, famine strikes the land itself. Even Noah, Daniel, and Job would deliver only their own souls — not a corrupt city’s crowd.

Latin · §1

Si terra peccaverit, extenditur manus super ipsam terram ut auferatur firmamentum panis. Non dixit tantum accolae sed terra. Et si fuerint in medio eius Noe et Daniel et Iob, liberabunt animas suas.

Attend the hard spectacle of judgment§2

2Lean in: the land’s judgment is a hard spectacle for the mind. Glory to God. Amen.

Latin · §2

Ingens cura expositionis; quasi ad grande spectaculum aciem mentis intendite. Gloria Deo. Amen.
