Leviticus 26:27–45

²⁷“But ^lif in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, ²⁸then I will walk contrary to you ^min fury, and I myself will discipline you ^xsevenfold for your sins. ²⁹ⁿYou shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. ³⁰And ^oI will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and ^pcast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. ³¹And I will ^qlay your cities waste and will ^rmake your sanctuaries desolate, and ^sI will not smell your pleasing aromas. ³²And ^tI myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be ^uappalled at it. ³³And ^vI will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

^34w“Then the land shall enjoy³ 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, ^xI will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The ^ysound of a ^zdriven 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 ^ayou 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 ^brot 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 ^cthey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ^dcommitted 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 ^euncircumcised heart is ^fhumbled and they make amends for their iniquity, ⁴²then I will ^gremember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will ^hremember the land. ⁴³But ^wthe 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, ⁱI will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and ^jbreak my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, ^kwhom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^lin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”
