Deuteronomy 29:22-28
“ Future generations of your children who follow you and the foreigner who comes from a distant country will see the plagues of the land and the sicknesses the Lord has inflicted on it.All its soil will be a burning waste of sulfur and salt, unsown, producing nothing, with no plant growing on it, just like the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord demolished in His fierce anger.All the nations will ask,‘ Why has the Lord done this to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’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.They began to worship other gods, bowing down to gods they had not known— gods that the Lord had not permitted them to worship.Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against this land, and He brought every curse written in this book on it.The Lord uprooted them from their land in His anger, rage, and great wrath, and threw them into another land where they are today.’
