Deuteronomy 29:23-26

23[that] the whole groundH776 thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his angerH639 and in his fury:

24even all nations shall sayH559, Why has Jehovah done thus to this landH776? whence the heat of this great anger?

25And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the 1GodH430 of their fathers, which he had madeH3045 with them whenH834 he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;

26and they wentH935 and served other 2gods, and bowed downH3789 to them, 3gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
