Leviticus 26:27-46
New International Version
27 “‘If in spite of this you still do not listen to me(A) but continue to be hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger(B) I will be hostile(C) toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.(D) 29 You will eat(E) the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.(F) 30 I will destroy your high places,(G) cut down your incense altars(H) and pile your dead bodies[a] on the lifeless forms of your idols,(I) and I will abhor(J) you. 31 I will turn your cities into ruins(K) and lay waste(L) your sanctuaries,(M) and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings.(N) 32 I myself will lay waste the land,(O) so that your enemies who live there will be appalled.(P) 33 I will scatter(Q) you among the nations(R) and will draw out my sword(S) and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste,(T) and your cities will lie in ruins.(U) 34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate(V) and you are in the country of your enemies;(W) then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 35 All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest(X) it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.
36 “‘As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf(Y) will put them to flight.(Z) They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.(AA) 37 They will stumble over one another(AB) as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.(AC) 38 You will perish(AD) among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.(AE) 39 Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’(AF) sins they will waste away.(AG)
40 “‘But if they will confess(AH) their sins(AI) and the sins of their ancestors(AJ)—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, 41 which made me hostile(AK) toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts(AL) are humbled(AM) and they pay(AN) for their sin, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob(AO) and my covenant with Isaac(AP) and my covenant with Abraham,(AQ) and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be deserted(AR) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected(AS) my laws and abhorred my decrees.(AT) 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,(AU) I will not reject them or abhor(AV) them so as to destroy them completely,(AW) breaking my covenant(AX) with them. I am the Lord their God. 45 But for their sake I will remember(AY) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt(AZ) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”
46 These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinai(BA) between himself and the Israelites through Moses.(BB)

Leviticus 26:27-46
King James Version
27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God.
45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.
46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
