^30 (A)And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations.

²⁷ Then ^(A)the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have ^(B)broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who ^(C)enslaved them.

²³ ‘The whole land is brimstone, ^(A)salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, ^(B)like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ ²⁴ All nations would say, ^(C)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ ²⁵ Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; ²⁶ for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. ²⁷ Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, ^(D)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. ²⁸ And the Lord ^(E)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
