Deuteronomy 29:24 in context

  1. 22The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick,
  2. 23that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath.
  3. 24Even all the nations will say, “Why has Yahweh done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
  4. 25Then men will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
  5. 26and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know and that he had not given to them.
