Leviticus 26:31-42

³¹I will turn your cities into ruins and destroy your sanctuaries. I will not be pleased with the aroma of your offerings.

³²I will devastate the land. Your enemies who will live there will be shocked at the devastation.

³³I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out my sword and follow you. Your land will be abandoned, and your cities will be ruined.

³⁴Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths for as long as it lies abandoned and you are in your enemies' lands. During that time, the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

³⁵As long as it lies abandoned, it will have rest, which will be the rest that it did not have with your Sabbaths, when you lived in it.

³⁶As for those of you who are left in your enemies' lands, I will send fear into your hearts so that even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will startle you, and you will flee as though you were fleeing from the sword. You will fall, even when no one is chasing you.

³⁷You will stumble over each other as though you were running from the sword, even though no one is chasing you. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

³⁸You will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will itself devour you.

³⁹Those who are left among you will waste away in their sins, there in your enemies' lands, and because of their fathers' sins they will waste away as well.

⁴⁰Yet if they confess their sins and their fathers' sin, and their treason by which they were unfaithful to me, and also their walking against me—

⁴¹which caused me to turn against them and I brought them into the land of their enemies—if their uncircumcised hearts become humbled, and if they accept the punishment for their sins,

⁴²then will I call to mind my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham; also, I will call the land to mind.
