Deuteronomy 29:24-26

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁴ All the nations will ask, ‘Why has the Lord done this to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’ ²⁵ Then people will answer, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which He had made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt. ²⁶ They began to worship other gods, bowing down to gods they had not known—gods that the Lord had not permitted them to worship.^(A)
