Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 29:25–26

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.
