You will not 8liveH748 longH748H3117 on it, but will be utterlyH8045 destroyedH8045. 27The LordH3068 will 9scatterH6327 you among the peoplesH5971, and you will be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 drivesH5090 you. 2810ThereH8033 you will serveH5647 godsH430, the workH4639 of humanH120 handsH3027, 11woodH6086 and stoneH68, 12whichH834 neitherH3808 seeH7200 norH3808 hearH8085, norH3808 eatH398 norH3808 smellH7381 anything. 2913But from thereH8033 you will seekH1245 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and you will findH4672 Him ifH3588 you searchH1875 for Him 14with allH3605 your heartH3824 and allH3605 your soulH5315. 30When you 15are in distressH6862 and allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 happenH4672 toH4672 you, 16in the latterH319 daysH3117 17you will returnH7725 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 and listenH8085 to His voiceH6963. 31For the LordH3068 your GodH430 is a 18compassionateH7349 GodH410; 19He will not abandonH7503 you norH3808 20destroyH7843 you, norH3808 21forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to them.
