* "
Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate ,
while you are in your enemies '
land ;
then the land shall rest ,
and enjoy its sabbaths .
*
As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest ,
the rest which it had not in your sabbaths when you dwelt upon it .
*
And as for those of you that are left ,
I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ;
the sound of a driven leaf shall put them to flight ,
and they shall flee as one flees from the sword ,
and they shall fall when none pursues .
*
They shall stumble over one another ,
as if to escape a sword ,
though none pursues ;
and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies .
*
And you shall perish among the nations ,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up .
*
And those of you that are left shall pine away in your enemies '
lands because of their iniquity ;
and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away like them .
* "
But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery which they committed against me ,
and also in walking contrary to me ,
*
so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies ;
if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity ;
*
then I will remember my covenant with Jacob ,
and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham ,
and I will remember the land .
*
But the land shall be left by them ,
and enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them ;
and they shall make amends for their iniquity ,
because they spurned my ordinances ,
and their soul abhorred my statutes .
*
Yet for all that ,
when they are in the land of their enemies ,
I will not spurn them ,
neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and break my covenant with them ;
for I am the LORD their God ;
