Deuteronomy 29:24 Context
22So that the generation to come of your children, that shall rise vp after you, and the stranger that shall come from a farre land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath layd vpon it; 23And that the whole land thereof is brimstone and salt, and burning, that it is not sowen, nor beareth, nor any grasse groweth therein, like the ouerthrow of Sodome, and Gomorah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord ouerthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 24Euen al nations shal say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 25Then men shall say, Because they haue forsaken the Couenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them foorth out of the land of Egypt. 26For they went and serued other gods, & worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not giuen vnto them.
