³⁴ Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate^(A) and you are in the country of your enemies;^(B) then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. ³⁵ All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest^(C) it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.

³⁶ “‘As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf^(D) will put them to flight.^(E) They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.^{(F) 37} They will stumble over one another^(G) as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.^{(H) 38} You will perish^(I) among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.^{(J) 39} Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’^(K) sins they will waste away.^(L)

⁴⁰ “‘But if they will confess^(M) their sins^(N) and the sins of their ancestors^(O)—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, ⁴¹ which made me hostile^(P) toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts^(Q) are humbled^(R) and they pay^(S) for their sin, ⁴² I will remember my covenant with Jacob^(T) and my covenant with Isaac^(U) and my covenant with Abraham,^(V) and I will remember the land. ⁴³ For the land will be deserted^(W) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected^(X) my laws and abhorred my decrees.^{(Y) 44} Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,^(Z) I will not reject them or abhor^(AA) them so as to destroy them completely,^(AB) breaking my covenant^(AC) with them. I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵ But for their sake I will remember^(AD) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt^(AE) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”

⁴⁶ These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinai^(AF) between himself and the Israelites through Moses.^(AG)
