Deuteronomy 29:23-28

MLV(i) 23 The whole land of it is brimstone and salt, a burning. It is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his wrath, 24 even all the nations will say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? What is the meaning of the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men will say, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that he had not given to them. 27 Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book. 28 And Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger and in wrath and in great indignation and cast them into another land, as at this day.
