Deuteronomy 29:23-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

²³ ‘All its land is ^(A)brimstone and salt, ^(B)a burning waste, ^[a]unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows in it, like the overthrow of ^(C)Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.’ ²⁴ All the nations will say, ‘^(D)Why has the Lord done thus to this land? Why this great ^[b]outburst of anger?’ ²⁵ Then men will say, ‘^(E)Because they forsook 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.
