Deuteronomy 29:25-28

25Then people will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

26They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.

27That is why the Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses written in this scroll.

28So the Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”
