Deuteronomy 29:22-24

The Voice

²² Future generations of your descendants and foreigners who come from distant countries will see how the Eternal has struck the land and sickened it, and they’ll say, ²³ “This whole place is a burned-out wasteland of sulfur and salt! No one plants anything here because nothing grows here—not even grass! It’s like what happened when He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,^[a] Admah and Zeboiim, when He was so furious with those cities.” ²⁴ People from the surrounding nations will say, “But why did the Eternal do this to this land? Why did He get so furiously angry?”
