24even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
25And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
26and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
27And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;

(Deut. 31:20‑21)
;
Deut. 32:16‑42• 16They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.
17They sacrificed unto demons who are not +God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.
18Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten *God who brought thee forth.
19And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.
20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no *God; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.
22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.
23I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.
24They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.
25From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror--Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
26I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
27If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.
28For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.
29Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!
30How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?
31For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;
33Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.
34Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
35Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.
37And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,
38Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.
39See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,
40For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!
41If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.
42Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; I will make them drunk with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.

therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken unto them, but they have not hearkened, and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
