Deuteronomy 29:22-24
Contemporary English Version
22 The Lord will strike your country with diseases and disasters. Your descendants and foreigners from distant countries will see that your land 23 (A) has become a scorching desert of salt and sulfur, where nothing is planted, nothing sprouts, and nothing grows. It will be as lifeless as the land around the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, after the Lord became angry and destroyed them.[a]
24 People from other nations will ask, “Why did the Lord destroy this country? Why was he so furious?”

Deuteronomy 29:22-24
New International Version
22 Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it.(A) 23 The whole land will be a burning waste(B) of salt(C) and sulfur—nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah,(D) Admah and Zeboyim, which the Lord overthrew in fierce anger.(E) 24 All the nations will ask: “Why has the Lord done this to this land?(F) Why this fierce, burning anger?”
