⁴⁸ And I will put an end to evil in all the land, teaching all women not to do as you have done.

⁶ And sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, burning them up with fire as an example to those whose way of life might in the future be unpleasing to him;

²⁷ So I will put an end to your evil ways and your loose behaviour which came from the land of Egypt: and your eyes will never be lifted up to them again, and you will have no more memory of Egypt.

⁴¹ And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

⁶ Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

⁷ Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

⁸ Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

⁹ And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.

¹⁰ And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

¹¹ Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

³ I will take away man and beast; I will take away the birds of the heaven and the fishes of the sea; causing the downfall of the evil-doers, and cutting man off from the face of the earth, says the Lord.

¹¹ I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:

¹² And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.

¹³ I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.

¹⁴ And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.

²⁵ And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

¹⁵ And I will send you in flight among the nations and wandering among the countries; and I will completely take away out of you everything which is unclean.

⁶ In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.

¹⁵ And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:

⁹ In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.

¹¹ And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.
