24. even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
25. And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
26. and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
27. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
28. and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it appears this day.
29. The hidden things belong to Jehovah our God but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.
