Leviticus 26:27-39

New American Standard Bible

²⁷ ‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me, ²⁸ then ^(A)I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I for My part will punish you seven times for your sins. ²⁹ Further, ^(B)you will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters. ³⁰ I then ^(C)will destroy your high places, and cut down your ^(D)incense altars, and ^[a]pile your ^[b]remains on the ^[c]remains of your idols, for My soul will loathe you. ³¹ I will turn your cities into ^(E)ruins as well and make your ^(F)sanctuaries desolate, and I will not ^(G)smell your soothing aromas. ³² And I will make ^(H)the land desolate ^(I)so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled at it. ³³ You, however, I ^(J)will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become ruins.

³⁴ ‘^(K)Then the land will restore its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and restore its Sabbaths. ³⁵ All the days of its desolation it will have the rest which it did not have on your Sabbaths, while you were living on it. ³⁶ As for those among you who are left, I will also bring ^(L)despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a scattered leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee ^[d]as though from the sword, and they will fall. ^37 (M)They will then stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand before your enemies. ³⁸ Instead, ^(N)you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. ^39 (O)So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their wrongdoing in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the wrongdoing of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
