⁴⁰“ ‘But^f when they confess their guilt and the guilt of their ancestors^g in their infidelity that they displayed against me, and moreover that they went against me in hostility— ⁴¹I myself^h alsoⁱ went against them in hostility, and I brought them into the land of their enemies—or if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and then they pay for their guilt, ⁴²I will remember^j my covenant with Jacob; and I will remember also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. ⁴³And the land shall be deserted by them, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths in its being desolate from them, and they themselves^k must pay for their guilt, simply because^l they rejected my regulations, and their inner self^m abhorred my statutes. ⁴⁴And in spite ofⁿ this, when they are^o in the land of their enemies I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them to destroy them, to break my covenant with them, because I am Yahweh their God. ⁴⁵And I will remember the first covenant for them^p—whom I brought out from the land of Egypt in the sight of^q the nations to be their God.^r I am Yahweh.’ ”
