22. So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid upon it,
23. and that the whole land thereof is brimstone and salt and burning, that it is not sown, nor shall it produce anything, nor shall any grass grow therein, like in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and in his wrath;
24. even all Gentiles shall say, Why has the Lord done thus unto this land? What means the heat of this great anger?
25. Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
26. for they went and served other gods and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not and who had not given anything unto them.
27. Therefore, the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book.
28. And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger and in wrath and in great indignation and cast them into another land, as it is today.
29. The hidden things of the Lord our God are uncovered unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
