39 And those of you who are left (A)shall [a]waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands;

also in their (B)fathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

40 But (C)if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;

if their (D)uncircumcised hearts are (E)humbled, and they (F)accept their guilt—

42 then I will (G)remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember;

I will (H)remember the land.

43 (I)The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them;

they will accept their guilt, because they (J)despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, (K)I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them;

for I am the Lord their God.

45 But (L)for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, (M)whom I brought out of the land of Egypt (N)in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God:

I am the Lord.’ ”

46 (O)These are the statutes and judgments and laws which the Lord made between Himself and the children of Israel (P)on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

  1. Leviticus 26:39 rot away

39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41 and that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: 42 then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord. 46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
