39 (A)So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their wrongdoing in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the wrongdoing of their forefathers they will rot away with them.

40 ‘But (B)if they confess their wrongdoing and the wrongdoing of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me— 41 I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—(C)or if their uncircumcised heart is humbled so that (D)they then make amends for their wrongdoing, 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 abandoned by them, and will restore its Sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their wrongdoing, [a]because they rejected My ordinances 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 destroy them, (L)breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord 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, so that (N)I might be their God. I am the Lord.’”

46 (O)These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the sons of Israel [b]through Moses on Mount Sinai.

39 Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’(A) sins they will waste away.(B)

40 “‘But if they will confess(C) their sins(D) and the sins of their ancestors(E)—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, 41 which made me hostile(F) toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts(G) are humbled(H) and they pay(I) for their sin, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob(J) and my covenant with Isaac(K) and my covenant with Abraham,(L) and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be deserted(M) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected(N) my laws and abhorred my decrees.(O) 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,(P) I will not reject them or abhor(Q) them so as to destroy them completely,(R) breaking my covenant(S) with them. I am the Lord their God. 45 But for their sake I will remember(T) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt(U) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”
