³³I will scatterⁱ you among the nations^j and will draw out my sword^k and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste,^l and your cities will lie in ruins.^m ³⁴Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolateⁿ and you are in the country of your enemies;^o then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. ³⁵All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest^p it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.

³⁶“ ‘As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf^q will put them to flight.^r They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.^s ³⁷They will stumble over one another^t as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.^u ³⁸You will perish^v among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.^w ³⁹Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’^x sins they will waste away.^y
