40 “ ‘But if they will confessz their sinsa and the sins of their ancestorsb—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, 41 which made me hostilec toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised heartsd are humblede and they payf for their sin, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacobg and my covenant with Isaach and my covenant with Abraham,i and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be desertedj by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejectedk my laws and abhorred my decrees.l 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,m I will not reject them or abhorn them so as to destroy them completely,o breaking my covenantp with them. I am the Lord their God. 45 But for their sake I will rememberq the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egyptr in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’ ”

46 These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinais between himself and the Israelites through Moses.t
