Deuteronomy 29:20-28
20The Lord will not be willing to forgive him, but rather athe anger of the Lord and bhis jealousy will smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book will settle upon him, and the Lord cwill blot out his name from under heaven. 21And the Lord will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law. 22And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, dwill say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick— 23the whole land burned out with brimstone and esalt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, fan overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, gAdmah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24all the nations hwill say, i‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25Then people will say, ‘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, 26and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, jbringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28and the Lord kuprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and lcast them into another land, as they are this day.’Deuteronomy 32:21-26
21 mThey have made me jealous with what is no god;they have provoked me to anger nwith their idols.
So oI will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with pa foolish nation.
22For qa fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to rthe depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
sI will spend my arrows on them;
24they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send tthe teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of uthings that crawl in the dust.
25 vOutdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 wI would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
xI will wipe them from human memory,”
Joshua 23:13
13know for certain that ythe Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, zbut they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.Joshua 23:15
15But just as all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the Lord will bring upon you aaall the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land that the Lord your God has given you,2 Kings 13:23
