24 And so, all the nations would say: 'Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?'
25 And they will respond: 'Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.
26 And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.
27 For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.
28 And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.'
29 These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law."
