Context of Deuteronomy 29:27

25The answer will be, “Because they abandoned the promise of the Lord God of their ancestors. He made this promise to them when he brought them out of Egypt. 26They worshiped other gods and bowed down to them. These were gods they never heard of, gods the Lord didn’t permit them to have. So the Lord became angry with this land and brought on it all the curses described in this book. 28In his fierce anger and fury the Lord uprooted these people from their land and deported them to another country, where they still are today.” 29Some things are hidden. They belong to the Lord our God. But the things that have been revealed in these teachings belong to us and to our children forever. We must obey every word of these teachings.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-28Verses 22-28 Idolatry would be the ruin of their nation. It is no new thing for God to bring desolating judgments on a people near to him in profession. He never does this without good reason. It concerns us to seek for the reason, that we may give glory to God, and take warning to ourselves.
