34 (A)Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;

then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—

for the time it did not rest on your (B)sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

36 ‘And as for those of you who are left, I will send (C)faintness[a] into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;

the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;

they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.

37 (D)They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues;

and (E)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 You shall (F)perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 And those of you who are left (G)shall [b]waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands;

also in their (H)fathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

40 But (I)if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;

if their (J)uncircumcised hearts are (K)humbled, and they (L)accept their guilt—

42 then I will (M)remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember;

I will (N)remember the land.

43 (O)The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them;

they will accept their guilt, because they (P)despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.
