Leviticus 26:40-46

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁰ Your sons and your grandsons must tell me, the Lord, that they are sorry. They must be sorry because they did not obey my rules. They must be sorry that they turned away from me. ⁴¹ They must remember that they made me angry. They caused me to turn away from them. I am the Lord, and I sent them into their enemies' country. They will be sorry until I have punished them enough. ⁴² Then I will remember my covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I will remember that I gave their land to them. ⁴³ Before this, the land will be empty and it will have a rest. My people will pay for the bad things that they did. ⁴⁴ But I, the Lord, will not kill all of them. The people will be living in their enemies' country. Then I will remember them. I will not leave them alone. I will remember my covenant with them. I am the Lord, their God. ⁴⁵ I will remember my covenant with their ancestors that I brought out of Egypt. The people of other nations saw me do this. I am the Lord.’

⁴⁶ These are the rules that the Lord gave to Moses on Sinai mountain. They are his covenant with Israel's people.^[a]
