Context of Deuteronomy 29:28

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. So 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.” 29Secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those that are revealed belong to us and our descendants forever, so that we might obey all the words of this law.
