Deuteronomy 29:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁴ “All the other nations will ask, ‘Why did the Lord do this to this land? Why was he so angry?’ ²⁵ The answer will be, ‘This happened because the Israelites left the agreement of the Lord, the God of their ancestors. They stopped following the agreement he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. ²⁶ The Israelites started serving other gods—gods they never worshiped before. The Lord told his people not to worship those gods.
