Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 1 Complete John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
15. For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
15. Nunc enim extendi manum meam, ut percutiam te et populum tuum peste: et excideris e terra.
16. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
16. Et certe ideo constitui te ut ostenderem tibi potentiam meam, et ut enarrent nomen meum in universa terra.
17. As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
17. Tu adhuc to extollis inpopulum meum, ut non dimittas eos?
18. Behold, tomorrow about this time, I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
18. Ecce, ego pluam hoc tempore cras grandinem gravissimam, cui non fuit similis in AEgypto ab eo die quo fundata fuit hucusque.
19. Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
19. Nunc igitur mitte, collige pecus tuum, et quicquid tibi est in agro. Omnes homines et jumentum qui inventi fuerint in agro, et non collecti fuerint intra domum, descendet super eos grando, et morientur.
20. He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
20. Qui timuit ad sermonem Jehovae ex servis Pharaonis, confugere jussit servos suos et pecora sua domum.
21. And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
21. Qui vero non adjecit cor suum ad verbum Jehovae, reliquit servos suos et pecora sua in agro.
