DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wat Thamoed betreft wij leidden hen, maar zij beminden de blindheid meer dan de ware richting; daarom overviel hen het vreeselijk gedruisch van eene schandelijke straf, om hetgeen zij hadden verdiend.

Avevamo da pria diretto Themud, ma egli preferì l’acciecamento alla direzione. Una tempesta del gastigo ignominioso precipitò sui suoi popoli in punizione delle loro opere.
