39 (A)So those of you who may remain will rot away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they will rot away with them.

40 (B)If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also how they walked in hostility against Me— 41 I also was walking in hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—(C)or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that (D)they then make up for their iniquity, 42 then I will remember (E)My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also (F)My covenant with Isaac and (G)My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land. 43 (H)For the land will be forsaken by them and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making up for their iniquity [a]because they rejected My judgments and their (I)soul loathed My statutes. 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so (J)loathe them as (K)to bring an end to them, (L)breaking My covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God. 45 But I will remember for them the (M)covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that (N)I might be their God. I am Yahweh.’”

46 (O)These are the statutes and judgments and laws which Yahweh has given to be between Himself and the sons of Israel by the hand of Moses at Mount Sinai.

  1. Leviticus 26:43 Lit because and by the cause

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.
