153:2.1 [[Jesus]] introduced this [[sermon]] by [[reading]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah the law] as found in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuteronomy Deuteronomy]: " But it shall come to pass, if this people will not hearken to the [[voice]] of [[God]], that the [[curses]] of [[transgression]] shall surely overtake them. The Lord shall [[cause]] you to be smitten by your [[enemies]]; you shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the [[earth]]. And the Lord shall bring you and the [[king]] you have set up over you into the hands of a strange [[nation]]. You shall become an astonishment, a [[proverb]], and a byword among all nations. Your sons and your daughters shall go into [[captivity]]. The strangers among you shall rise high in [[authority]] while you are brought very low. And these things shall be upon you and your [[seed]] forever because you would not hearken to the [[word]] of the Lord. Therefore shall you serve your [[enemies]] who shall come against you. You shall [[endure]] [[hunger]] and [[thirst]] and wear this [[alien]] yoke of iron. The Lord shall bring against you a [[nation]] from afar, from the end of the [[earth]], a nation whose tongue you shall not [[understand]], a nation of fierce [[countenance]], a nation which will have little regard for you. And they shall [[besiege]] you in all your towns until the high [[fortified]] walls wherein you have [[trusted]] come down; and all the land shall fall into their hands. And it shall come to pass that you will be driven to eat the fruit of your own bodies, the [[flesh]] of your sons and daughters, during this time of [[siege]], because of the straitness wherewith your enemies shall press you.
