Context of Deuteronomy 29:28

26They began to serve other gods, bowing in worship to gods they had not known — gods that the Lord had not permitted them to worship. 27Therefore 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 intense wrath, and threw them into another land where they are today.’ 29The hidden things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things belong to us and our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.
