What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then 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, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, ^gbringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord ^huprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and ⁱcast them into another land, as they are this day.’
