Deuteronomy 29:23-28

MSTC(i) 23 how all the land is burnt up with brimstone and salt, that it is neither sown nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, after the overthrowing of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim: which the LORD overthrew in his wrath and anger. 24 And then all nations also say, "Wherefore hath the LORD done of this fashion unto this land? O how fierce is this great wrath?' 25 And men shall say, 'Because they left the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers which he made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 26 And they went and served strange gods and worshipped them: gods which they knew not and which had given them nought. 27 And therefore the wrath of the LORD waxed hot upon that land to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book. 28 And the LORD cast them out of their land in anger, wrath and great furiousness, and cast them into a strange land, as it is come to pass this day.'
