Deuteronomy 29:23-28

JuliaSmith(i) 23 Pitch and burning salt, all its land; it shall not be sown, and it shall not sprout, and no green herb shall come up upon it, as the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his wrath: 24 And all the nations said, For what did Jehovah thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger? 25 And they said, Because they left the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he made with them; in his bringing them forth from the land of Egypt 26 And they will go and serve other gods, and will worship to them gods which they knew them not, and a portion not to them. 27 And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against this land, to bring upon it all the curses written in this book. 28 And Jehovah will tear them up from their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great anger, and will send them to another land as this day.
