Deuteronomy 29:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² The whole land will be a burning waste of brimstone and salt. Nothing will be planted there, nothing will sprout up, no vegetation will grow there. It will be like the destruction of Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim which the Lord destroyed in his anger and his wrath.

²³ All the nations will ask, “Why has the Lord done these things to this land? Why this furious, terrible anger?” ²⁴ The answer will be, “Because they have forsaken their covenant with the Lord, the God of their fathers, that he made with them when he brought them up out of the land of Egypt.
