Leviticus 26:33-39 ▼

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.

37 They'll stumble over each other as though fleeing before the sword, even though no one is pursuing. |You won't have power to resist your enemies.

38 You'll perish among the nations and the land of your enemies will consume you.

39 The remnants among you will waste away in the land of your enemies due to their iniquity. Indeed, they'll also waste away on account of the iniquities of their ancestors with them.|
