Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land,.... For this their idolatry and base ingratitude: to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book; in this book of Deuteronomy, and particularly Deu 28:16; see Dan 9:11.
This site's exposition
It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD
on Deuteronomy 29:25-28
The nations' answer names the covenant made when God brought Israel out of Egypt. Verse 28 speaks of the uprooting as past, “where they are today”, and Daniel 9:11-14 prays these verses back to God from inside the exile.
This site's exposition
every curse written in this
John Gill reads every curse written in this book as the curses of chapter 28, beginning at 28:16. The land itself receives the anger, as it had received the rain of blessing at 28:12. Henry calls the LORD righteous in the whole desolation.

proposed
It was of the greatest consequence to impress all with the strong and abiding conviction, that while the covenant of grace had special blessings belonging to it, it at the same time had curses in reserve for transgressors, the infliction of which would be as certain, as lasting and severe. This was the advantage contemplated in the law being rehearsed a second time.
