Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 29:24–27

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. ²⁶They went and served other gods, and they worshiped gods they had not known— gods that the LORD had not given to them. ²⁷Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against this land, and He brought upon it every curse written in this book.
