²⁵ “If anyone of your kin falls into difficulty and sells a piece of property, then the next of kin shall come and redeem what the relative has sold.^{(A) 26} If the person has no one to redeem it but then prospers and finds sufficient means to do so, ²⁷ the years since its sale shall be computed and the difference refunded to the person to whom it was sold, and the property shall be returned.^{(B) 28} But if there are not sufficient means to recover it, what was sold shall remain with the purchaser until the year of Jubilee; in the Jubilee it shall be released, and the property shall be returned.^(C)

²⁶ You depend on your swords, you commit abominations, and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife; shall you then possess the land?^{(A) 27} Say this to them: Thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and those who are in the open field I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those who are in strongholds and in caves shall die by pestilence.^(B)

²² Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not disheartened them, and you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their wicked way and save their lives,^(A)

⁸ No one has power over the wind^[a] to restrain the wind^[b] or power over the day of death; there is no discharge from the battle, nor does wickedness deliver those who practice it.^(A)

³¹ But houses in villages that have no walls around them shall be classed as open country; they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
