Leviticus 26:34-46 English Standard Version

³⁴^(A)“Then the land shall enjoy^[a] its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. ³⁵As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it. ³⁶And as for those of you who are left, ^(B)I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The ^(C)sound of a ^(D)driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. ³⁷They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And ^(E)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. ³⁸And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. ³⁹And those of you who are left shall ^(F)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 ^(G)they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ^(H)committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, ⁴¹so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their ^(I)uncircumcised heart is ^(J)humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, ⁴²then I will ^(K)remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will ^(L)remember the land. ⁴³But ^(M)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. ⁴⁴Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^(N)I will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and ^(O)break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, ^(P)whom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^(Q)in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”
