Leviticus 26:31-39

31I will 1lay 2waste your cities as well and will make your 3sanctuaries desolate, and I will not 4smell your soothing aromas. 32I will make 5the land desolate 6so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it. 33You, however, I 7will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.

34‘8Then the land will 9enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and 10enjoy its sabbaths. 35All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it. 36As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring 11weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee 12as though from the sword, and they will fall. 3713They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength 14to stand up before your enemies. 38But 15you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. 3916So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
