Deuteronomy 29:23-25

Good News Translation

^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?’ ²⁵ And the answer will be, ‘It is because the Lord's people broke the covenant they had made with him, the God of their ancestors, when he brought them out of Egypt.
