Enemies did nothing of themselves; Moses foretold

Nothing, she says, did the enemies do from themselves; for it seemed good to God and has come to be. For which reason Nebuzaradan also was saying: “the Lord your God has spoken these evils unto this place, and the Lord has brought them on, because you sinned against him.” Everyone, then, who disbelieves the judgment will hear these words. All the prophets, then, were foretelling these things, and from ancient days Moses in Deuteronomy announced these things beforehand.
