Exegesis
The final clause kai orge tō lao toutō {καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ | kaí orgḗ tō laō toútō} adds a second coordinated judgment, balancing the land and the people as twin targets of disaster. The English renderings smooth the idiom of the dative participles while preserving the causal gar relation and the parallel outcomes.
