Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring.

And if it so be that they shall serve him

according to the commandments which he hath given,

it shall be a land of liberty unto them;

cursed shall be the land for their sakes,

but unto the righteous it shall be blessed forever.

that they may possess this land unto themselves.

that they shall dwindle in unbelief,

after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord —

knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord

from the creation of the world;

having power given them to do all things by faith;

having all the commandments from the beginning,

and having been brought by his infinite goodness

into this precious land of promise —

behold, I say, if the day shall come

that they will reject the Holy One of Israel,

the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God,

behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.
