Deuteronomy 29:25 In-Context

23 The fields will be a barren waste, covered with sulfur and salt; nothing will be planted, and not even weeds will grow there. Your land will be like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, of Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed when he was furiously angry.
24 Then the whole world will ask, "Why did the Lord do this to their land? What was the reason for his fierce anger?'
25 And the answer will be, "It is because the Lord's people broke the covenant they had made with him, the God of their ancestors, when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 They served other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that the Lord had forbidden them to worship.
27 And so the Lord became angry with his people and brought on their land all the disasters written in this book.
