24. All the other nations will ask, “Why has the Lord done this to the land? Why is he so angry?”
25. And the answer will be, “It is because the people broke the agreement of the Lord, the God of their ancestors. He made it with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26. They went and served other gods. They bowed down to gods they did not even know. The Lord did not allow that.
27. So the Lord became very angry at the land. And he brought all the curses on it that are written in this book.
28. The Lord became angry and furious with them. So he took them out of their land. And he put them in another land where they are today.”
29. There are some things the Lord our God has kept secret. But there are some things he has let us know. These things belong to us and our children forever. It is so we will do everything in these teachings.
