Ad Demetrianum [CSEL]
§ 6
Ipsum denique audi loquentem, ipsum uoce diuina instruentem nos et monentem: Dominum Deum tuum [inquit]12[P. 355] adorabis et illi soli seruies, et iterum: non erunt tibi dii alii absque me, et iterum: nolite ambulare post deos alienos ut seruiatis eis et ne adoraueritis eos: et ne incitetis me in operibus manuum uestrarum ad disperdendos uos. propheta item sancto Spiritu plenus contestatur et denuntiat iram Dei dicens: haec dicit dominus omnipotens: eo quod domus mea deserta est, uos autem sectamini unusquisque in domum suam, propterea abstinebit caelum a rore et terra subtrahet procreationes suas, et inducam gladium super terram et super frumentum et super uinum et super oleum et super homines et super pecora et super omnes labores manuum eorum. item propheta alius repetit et dicit: et pluam super unam ciuitatem et super unam non pluam. pars una compluetur et pars super quam non pluero arefiet. et congregabuntur duae et tres ciuitates in unam ciuitatem potandae aquae causa nec sic satiabuntur: et non conuertimini ad me, dicit Dominus.

An Address to Demetrianus
6.
In fine, listen to Himself speaking; Himself with a divine voice at once instructing and warning us: "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God," says He, "and Him only shalt thou serve." 1 And again, "Thou shalt have none other gods but me." 2 And again, "Go not after other gods, to serve them; and worship them not, and provoke not me to anger with the works of your hands to destroy you." 3 Moreover, the prophet, filled with the Holy Spirit, attests and denounces the anger of God, saying, "Thus saith the Lord Almighty: Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man to his own house, therefore the heavens shall be stayed from dew, and the earth shall withhold her fruits: and I will bring a sword upon the earth, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labours of their hands." 4 Moreover, another prophet repeats, and says, "And I will cause it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I will cause it not to rain. One piece shall be rained upon, and the piece whereon I send no rain shall be withered. And two and three cities shall be gathered into one city to drink water, and shall not be satisfied; and ye are not converted unto me, saith the Lord." [^3414]
