Ezekiel 6:14
6:14 I will stretch out my hand against them
and make the land a desolate waste from the wilderness to Riblah,
in all the places where they live. Then they will know that I am the
Lord!”
Deuteronomy 29:23-28
29:23 The whole land will be covered with brimstone, salt, and burning debris; it will not be planted nor will it sprout or produce grass. It will resemble the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the
Lord destroyed in his intense anger.
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.”
Deuteronomy 29:2
The Exodus, Wandering, and Conquest Reviewed

Deuteronomy 1:21
1:21 Look, he
has placed the land in front of you!
Go up, take possession of it, just as the
Lord, the God of your ancestors, said to do. Do not be afraid or discouraged!”
Jeremiah 25:9-11
25:9 So I, the
Lord, affirm that
I will send for all the peoples of the north
and my servant,
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and all the nations that surround it. I will utterly destroy
this land, its inhabitants, and all the nations that surround it
and make them everlasting ruins.
I will make them objects of horror and hissing scorn.
25:10 I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in these lands.
I will put an end to the sound of people grinding meal. I will put an end to lamps shining in their houses.
25:11 This whole area
will become a desolate wasteland. These nations will be subject to the king of Babylon for seventy years.’
