Deuteronomy 29:24-28

24all the nations awill say, bWhy 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, cbringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28and the Lord duprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and ecast them into another land, as they are this day.’

2 Chronicles 7:20-22

20 fthen I will pluck you
Hebrew them; twice in this verse
up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it ha proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, iWhy has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 22Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought all this disaster on them.’”

but kthey do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.
Let lthe fire for your adversaries consume them.

Jeremiah 40:2-3

2The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, m“The Lord your God pronounced this disaster against this place. 3The Lord has brought it about, and has done as he said. nBecause you sinned against the Lord and did not obey his voice, this thing has come upon you.

Lamentations 2:16-17

16 oAll your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We phave swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; qwe see it!”
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out rhis word,
which he commanded slong ago;
the has thrown down uwithout pity;
vhe has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the wmight of your foes.
