Deuteronomy 29:22-28
22And 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— 23the 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— 24all the nations ewill say, f‘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, gbringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28and 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.’1 Kings 9:8-9
8And this house will become a heap of ruins. ▼▼Syriac, Old Latin; Hebrew will become high
Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, k‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9Then they will say, ‘Because lthey abandoned the Lord their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.’” Jeremiah 22:8-9
8“‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, m“Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?” 9 nAnd they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”Jeremiah 25:28-29
28“And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: oYou must drink! 29For behold, pI begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, qfor I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’Jeremiah 49:12
12For thus says the Lord: r“If those who did not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, swill you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you must drink.Lamentations 1:12
12 “Is it nothing to you, all tyou who pass by?uLook and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
which was brought upon me,
which vthe Lord inflicted
on wthe day of his fierce anger.
