Deuteronomy 29:22-28

²²“Now the future generation, your sons who rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of that land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it, will say, ²³‘All its land is brimstone and salt, burned debris, unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows on it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.’ ²⁴All the nations will say, ‘Why has the Lord done all this to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’ ²⁵Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt. ²⁶And they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they have not known and whom He had not assigned to them. ²⁷Therefore, the anger of the Lord burned against that land, to bring upon it every curse which is written in this book; ²⁸and the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger, fury, and in great wrath, and hurled them into another land, as it is this day.’
