Leviticus 26:31-39

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

34‘7Then the land will restore its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and restore its Sabbaths. 35All the days of its desolation it will have the rest which it did not have on your Sabbaths, while you were living on it. 36As for those among you who are left, I will also bring 8despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a scattered leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee 9as though from the sword, and they will fall. 3710They will then stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand before your enemies. 38Instead, 11you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. 3912So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their wrongdoing in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the wrongdoing of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
