29. You will eat the flesh of your sons and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
30. I will destroy your high places and cut down your altars of incense, cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and My soul will abhor you.
31. I will lay waste your cities and devastate your sanctuaries. I will not smell your soothing aromas.
32. I will make the land desolate and your enemies settling there will be astonished at it.
33. I will scatter you among the nations and I will draw out the sword after you. So your land will become a desolation and your cities will become a waste.
34. Then the land will enjoy its Shabbatot all the days of its desolation, while you are in the land of your enemies. Then the land will rest and enjoy its Shabbatot.
35. As long as it lies desolate it will have rest, that rest which it did not have from your Shabbatot, when you lived on it.
36. “As for those who remain, I will bring weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as one flees from the sword and fall, even when no one is pursuing.
37. They will stumble over one another, as if before the sword, when no one pursues, and you will have no strength to stand before your enemies.
38. You will perish among the nations and the land of your enemies will devour you.
39. Those of you who are left in the land of your enemies will rot away because of their iniquity, and because of the iniquities of their fathers they will rot away with them.
40. “But if they confess their iniquity and that of their fathers, in the treachery they committed against Me, and how they walked contrary to Me
41. —in return I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if at that time their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled, so that they accept the punishment for their iniquity,
42. then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and also My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
43. But the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its Shabbatot while it lies desolate without them, and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and their soul abhorred My statutes.
44. “Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I hate them into utter destruction, and break My covenant with them, for I am Adonai their God.
