Deuteronomy 29:22-28

22 And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, ^awill say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick— 23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and ^bsalt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, ^can overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, ^dAdmah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24 all the nations ^ewill say, ^f‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? 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.’

Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.’”
