24. even all the nations will say, “Why has Yahweh done thus to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
25. Then men will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
26. and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know, and that he had not given to them.
27. Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book.
28. Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”
29. The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
