Deuteronomy 29:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴All the nations will ask, ‘Why did the Lord do this to this land? What is the meaning of this fierce and great anger?’ ²⁵Then they will answer themselves,^[a]

‘Because they’ve abandoned the covenant of their Lord, the God of their ancestors that he had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. ²⁶They followed and worshipped other gods whom they had not known and whom he did not assign to them.
