"Yet even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and little."
Nel contesto
6And those parents sacrificing with their own hands helpless souls, it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our parents,
7That the land which of all is most dear to thee might receive a worthy colony of the children of God.
8Yet even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and little.
9Not that thou wast unable to bring the wicked under the just by war, or by cruel beasts, or with one rough word to destroy them at once:
10But executing thy judgments by degrees thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a wicked generation, and their malice natural, and that their thought could never be changed.
