and the storm, and the tempest, and the quakings of the earth did cease —

for behold, they did last for about the space of three hours;

nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done

in about the space of three hours —

and then behold, there was darkness upon the face of the land.

And behold, the city of Gadiandi, and the city of Gadiomnah,

and made hills and valleys in the places thereof;

and the inhabitants thereof have I buried up in the depths of the earth,

to hide their wickedness and abominations from before my face,

that the blood of the prophets and the saints

should not come up any more unto me against them.

and have nourished you.

he that hath the scriptures, let him search them,

and see and behold if all these deaths and destructions

and all these things are not unto the fulfilling

of the prophecies of many of the holy prophets.
