Deuteronomy 29:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ “The land is ·nothing but burning cinders [burned by sulphur] and salt. Nothing is planted, nothing grows, and nothing blooms. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah [Gen. 19], and Admah and Zeboiim [Gen. 14:2; Hos. 11:8], which the Lord ·destroyed [overturned] ·because he was very angry [^Lin his anger and his wrath].” ²⁴ All the other nations will ask, “Why has the Lord done this to the land? Why is he so angry?”

²⁵ And the answer will be, “It is because the people broke the ·Agreement [Covenant; Treaty] of the Lord, the God of their ·ancestors [fathers], which he ·made [^Lcut] with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
