Leviticus 26 - Revised Standard Version Old Tradition 1952(RSV-C)

1 its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

35As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest which it had not in your sabbaths when you dwelt upon it.

36And 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.

37They 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.

38And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39And 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.

40 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.

44Yet 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;

45but I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

46These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the Lord made between him and the people of Israel on Mount Sinai by Moses.
