And all the nations will say, '{Why} has Yahweh done {such a thing} to this land? What [caused] the fierceness of this great anger?'

And they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods whom they did not know them and he had not allotted to them. So {the anger of Yahweh was kindled} against that land to bring upon it all the curses written in this scroll, and Yahweh uprooted them from their land in anger and in wrath and in great fury, and he cast them into another land, {just as it is today}.'
