But[a] I will spare some, so there will be[b] for you fugitives from the sword among the nations when you are scattered[c] in the countries. And your fugitives will remember me among the nations to which they were taken captive, that I was shattered by their adulterous heart[d] which departed from me, and by their adulterous eyes[e] which went after their idols, and they will feel loathing for themselves,[f] for the evil that they did, for all of their detestable things. 10 And they will know that I am Yahweh; not in vain[g] I spoke to bring to them this evil.”’

But I will spare a few.
    Some of you will escape the nations’ swords
    when you are scattered throughout the lands.
Your fugitives will remember me
    in the nations to which they’ve been banished,
    how I was crushed when their roving hearts turned away from me,
    and their roving eyes went after their idols.
They will loathe themselves
    for their treacherous acts and detestable practices,
10         and they will know that I am the Lord.
Not in vain have I threatened to bring this evil against them.
