The passage in its setting
Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Deuteronomy 29. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.
27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
