39 And those of you who are left shall (A)rot away in your enemies' lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40 “But if (B)they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they (C)committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their (D)uncircumcised heart is (E)humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will (F)remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will (G)remember the land. 43 But (H)the land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, (I)I will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and (J)break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, (K)whom I brought out of the land of Egypt (L)in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

46 (M)These are the statutes and rules and laws that the Lord made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses (N)on Mount Sinai.

39 Those[a] who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away because of their iniquity; they will also waste away because of their ancestors’ iniquities along with theirs.

40 “But when they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their ancestors—their unfaithfulness that they practiced against me, and how they acted with hostility toward me, 41 and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled(A) and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob. I will also remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. 43 For the land abandoned by them will make up for its Sabbaths by lying desolate without the people, while they make amends for their iniquity, because they rejected my ordinances and abhorred my statutes. 44 Yet in spite of this, while they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or abhor them so as to destroy them and break my covenant with them, since I am the Lord their God.(B) 45 For their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God; I am the Lord.”

46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws the Lord established between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
