39 And because of their guilt, the ones among you who remain shall decay in the land of their enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their ancestors,[a] they shall decay with them.

40 “‘But[b] when they confess their guilt and the guilt of their ancestors[c] in their infidelity that they displayed against me, and moreover that they went against me in hostility— 41 I myself[d] also[e] went against them in hostility, and I brought them into the land of their enemies—or if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and then they pay for their guilt, 42 I will remember[f] my covenant with Jacob; and I will remember also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. 43 And the land shall be deserted by them, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths in its being desolate from them, and they themselves[g] must pay for their guilt, simply because[h] they rejected my regulations, and their inner self[i] abhorred my statutes. 44 And in spite of[j] this, when they are[k] in the land of their enemies I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them to destroy them, to break my covenant with them, because I am Yahweh their God. 45 And I will remember the first covenant for them[l]—whom I brought out from the land of Egypt in the sight of[m] the nations to be their God.[n] I am Yahweh.’”

46 These are the rules and the regulations and the laws that Yahweh gave between himself and the Israelites[o] on Mount Sinai[p] through[q] Moses.
