Leviticus 26:33-36 ▼

33 |I'll scatter you among the nations and draw the sword after you so that your land becomes desolate and your towns become ruins.

34 Then the land will finally be pleased with its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time, the land will rest and take its Sabbaths.

35 As long as it lies desolate, it will have rest that it will not have had during your Sabbaths when you were living in it.

36 |As for the remnants among you, I'll bring despair in their hearts in the land of their enemies so that even the sound of a blown leaf will chase them and they flee as though pursued by the sword and fall when no one is pursuing.
