Deuteronomy 29:26 Context
24Euen al nations shal say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 25Then men shall say, Because they haue forsaken the Couenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them foorth out of the land of Egypt. 26For they went and serued other gods, & worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not giuen vnto them. 27And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring vpon it all the curses, that are written in this booke. 28And 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 this day.
