and they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath Jehovah brought all this evil upon them.

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

Και θελουσιν αποκρινεσθαι, Επειδη εγκατελιπον Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων, οστις εξηγαγε τους πατερας αυτων εκ γης Αιγυπτου, και προσεκολληθησαν εις αλλους θεους και προσεκυνησαν αυτους και ελατρευσαν αυτους, δια τουτο ο Κυριος επεφερεν επ' αυτους απαν τουτο το κακον.

And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
