Deuteronomy 29:22-24

Good News Translation

²² “In future generations your descendants and foreigners from distant lands will see the disasters and sufferings that the Lord has brought on your land. ^23 (A)The fields will be a barren waste, covered with sulfur and salt; nothing will be planted, and not even weeds will grow there. Your land will be like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, of Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed when he was furiously angry. ²⁴ Then the whole world will ask, ‘Why did the Lord do this to their land? What was the reason for his fierce anger?’
