New Living Translation
Leviticus 26:31-39
31I will make your cities desolate and destroy your places of pagan worship. I will take no pleasure in your offerings that should be a pleasing aroma to me.
32Yes, I myself will devastate your land, and your enemies who come to occupy it will be appalled at what they see.
33I will scatter you among the nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.
34Then at last the land will enjoy its neglected Sabbath years as it lies desolate while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. Then the land will finally rest and enjoy the Sabbaths it missed.
35As long as the land lies in ruins, it will enjoy the rest you never allowed it to take every seventh year while you lived in it.
36“And for those of you who survive, I will demoralize you in the land of your enemies. You will live in such fear that the sound of a leaf driven by the wind will send you fleeing. You will run as though fleeing from a sword, and you will fall even when no one pursues you.
37Though no one is chasing you, you will stumble over each other as though fleeing from a sword. You will have no power to stand up against your enemies.
38You will die among the foreign nations and be devoured in the land of your enemies.
39Those of you who survive will waste away in your enemies’ lands because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors.
