De civitate Dei (413 - 427) Augustine of Hippo |
| Quotation |
propter hoc ergo nec prophetas ex illo tempore habuit illa gens et multis cladibus afflicta est ab
alienigenis regibus ipsisque romanis, ne hanc aggaei prophetiam in illa instauratione templi
opinaretur impletam. |
| Translation |
It was for this reason, therefore – that is, so that they should not suppose that this prophecy of Haggai had been fulfilled in the restoration of the temple – that the Jewish nation had no prophets from that time onwards, and had many calamities inflicted on them by foreign kings and by the Romans themselves. (trans. Dyson) |
