"[And that] the whole¹ landª thereof [is] brimstone,ª and salt,ª [and] burning,ª [that] it is not¹ sown,ª° nor¹ beareth,ª° nor¹ any¹ grassª growethª° therein, like the overthrowª of Sodom,ª and Gomorrah,ª Admah,ª and Zeboim,ª which¹ the LORDª overthrewª° in his anger,ª and in his wrath:ª ... Then men shall say,ª° Because¹¹ they have forsakenª°¹ the covenantª of the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ he madeª° with¹ them when he brought them forthª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt:ª" {Deu 29:23-25} + "And at this¹ house,ª [which] is¹ high,ª every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it shall be astonished,ª° and shall hiss;ª° and they shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and to this¹ house?ª ... And they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª their God,ª who¹ brought forthª°¹ their fathersª out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and have taken holdª° upon otherª gods,ª and have worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath the LORDª broughtª° upon¹ them¹ all¹ this¹ evil.ª" {1Kg 9:8-9} + "Then will I pluck them up by the rootsª° out of¹¹ my landª which¹ I have givenª° them; and this¹ house,ª which¹ I have sanctifiedª° for my name,ª will I cast outª° of¹¹ my sight,ª and will makeª° it [to be] a proverbª and a bywordª among all¹ nations.ª ...
