Leviticus 26:32-41

32God will destroy the land. He will cause the enemies who live in your land to hate it.

33God will push you out. He will send your people away to other countries. He will destroy your cities. And he will make your land a desert.

34The land will have a Sabbath rest while there are no people in it.

35All the time that it is empty, the land will have rest. It will have the Sabbath rest that it did not have. It did not have it when you lived in it.

36Some of Israel's people will remain in other countries. They will be frightened. A leaf that is blowing in the wind will cause them to run away. It will be like when an enemy is running after them. They will fall even if no enemy is running after them.

37They will fall over each other when nobody is running after them. They will not be strong enough to fight their enemies.

38They will die in the countries where they are living. Those countries will cause their deaths.

39Those who remain here will die because of their sins. They will die because their ancestors did not obey God.

40Your sons and your grandsons must tell me, the Lord, that they are sorry. They must be sorry because they did not obey my rules. They must be sorry that they turned away from me.

41They must remember that they made me angry. They caused me to turn away from them. I am the Lord, and I sent them into their enemies' country. They will be sorry until I have punished them enough.
