Bible. Leviticus
03:026:030 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images,
and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you.
03:026:031 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries
unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
odours.
03:026:032 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies
which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
03:026:033 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your
cities waste.
03:026:034 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the
land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
03:026:035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not
rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
03:026:036 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a
faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and
the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall
flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none
pursueth.
03:026:037 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a
sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand
before your enemies.
03:026:038 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
enemies shall eat you up.
03:026:039 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their
iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of
their fathers shall they pine away with them.
03:026:040 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of
their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed
against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
03:026:041 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have
brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their
uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the
punishment of their iniquity:
03:026:042 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my
covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I
remember; and I will remember the land.
03:026:043 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her
sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they
shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because,
even because they despised my judgments, and because their
soul abhorred my statutes.
03:026:044 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their
enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them,
to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them:
for I am the LORD their God.
