29:24 Then all the nations will ask, “Why has the
Lord done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger
all about?”
29:25 Then 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.
29:26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.
29:27 That is why the
Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses
written in this scroll.
29:28 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.”
