Leviticus 26:39-46
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
39 And those of you who survive shall languish in the land of your enemies because of their iniquities; they shall also languish because of the iniquities of their ancestors.(A)
40 “But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their ancestors—their treachery against me and also their continued hostility to me,(B) 41 so that I in turn was hostile to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if, then, their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity,(C) 42 then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; I will remember also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.(D) 43 For the land shall be deserted by them and enjoy[a] its Sabbath years by lying desolate without them, while they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they dared to spurn my ordinances, and they abhorred my statutes.(E) 44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn them or abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God,(F) 45 but I will remember in their favor 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.”(G)
46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws that the Lord established between himself and the Israelites on Mount Sinai through Moses.(H)

Leviticus 26:39-46
Lexham English Bible
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.
