Deuteronomy 29:22-28

Your children who will come after you, as well as foreigners from faraway lands, will see the disasters that come to this land and the diseases the LORD will send on it. They will say, “The land is nothing but burning cinders and salt. Nothing is planted, nothing grows, and nothing blooms. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD destroyed because he was very angry.” All the other nations will ask, “Why has the LORD done this to the land? Why is he so angry?” And the answer will be, “It is because the people broke the Agreement of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. They went and served other gods and bowed down to gods they did not even know. The LORD did not allow that, so he became very angry at the land and brought all the curses on it that are written in this book. Since the LORD became angry and furious with them, he took them out of their land and put them in another land where they are today.”
