Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 29:24–25
24So all the nations will ask, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’
25And the people will answer, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
