Ulangan 29:24-28

29:24 Then all the nations will ask, “Why has the Lord done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger ¹  all about?” 29:25 Then people will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 29:26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship. ²  29:27 That is why the Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses ³  written in this scroll. 29:28 So the Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”

Ulangan 31:17

31:17 At that time ⁴  my anger will erupt against them ⁵  and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome ⁶  them ⁷  so that they ⁸  will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters ⁹  overcome us ¹⁰  because our ¹¹  God is not among us ¹² ?’

Yesaya 5:25

5:25 So the Lord is furious ¹³  with his people;

he lifts ¹⁴  his hand and strikes them.

The mountains shake,

and corpses lie like manure ¹⁵  in the middle of the streets.

Despite all this, his anger does not subside,

and his hand is ready to strike again. ¹⁶
