³⁴ ‘^(A)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 ^(B)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 ^[a]as though from the sword, and they will fall. ^37 (C)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, ^(D)you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. ^39 (E)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.

Israel Captive

⁶ In the ninth year of Hoshea, ^(A)the king of Assyria captured Samaria and ^(B)led the people of Israel into exile to Assyria, and ^(C)settled them in Halah and Habor, on the river of ^(D)Gozan, and ^(E)in the cities of the Medes.

¹⁸ So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and He ^(A)removed them from His ^[a]sight; ^(B)no one was left except the tribe of Judah.

²¹ Then the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. ^(A)So Judah went into exile from its land.
