and ye shall be delivered{H5414} into the hand{H3027} of the enemy.{H341} 26 When I break{H7665} your staff{H4294} of bread,{H3899} ten{H6235} women{H802} shall bake{H644} your bread{H3899} in one{H259} oven,{H8574} and they shall deliver{H7725} your bread{H3899} again{H7725} by weight:{H4948} and ye shall eat,{H398} and not be satisfied.{H7646} 27 And if ye will not for all this{H2063} hearken{H8085} unto me, but walk{H1980} contrary{H7147} unto me; 28 then I will walk{H1980} contrary{H7147} unto you in wrath;{H2534} and I also{H637} will chastise{H3256} you seven times{H7651} for your sins.{H2403} 29 And ye shall eat{H398} the flesh{H1320} of your sons,{H1121} and the flesh{H1320} of your daughters{H1323} shall ye eat.{H398} 30 And I will destroy{H8045} your high places,{H1116} and cut down{H3772} your sun-images,{H2553} and cast{H5414} your dead bodies{H6297} upon the bodies{H6297} of your idols;{H1544} and my soul{H5315} shall abhor{H1602} you. 31 And I will make{H5414} your cities{H5892} a waste,{H2723} and will bring{H8074} your sanctuaries{H4720} unto desolation,{H8074} and I will not smell{H7306} the savor{H7381} of your sweet odors.{H5207} 32 And I will bring{H8074} the land{H776} into desolation;{H8074} and your enemies{H341} that dwell{H3427} therein shall be astonished{H8074} at it. 33 And you will I scatter{H2219} among the nations,{H1471} and I will draw out{H7324} the sword{H2719} after{H310} you: and your land{H776} shall be a desolation,{H8077} and your cities{H5892} shall be a waste.{H2723} 34 Then shall the land{H776} enjoy{H7521} its sabbaths,{H7676} as long{H3117} as it lieth desolate,{H8074} and ye are in your enemies'{H341} land;{H776} even then shall the land{H776} rest,{H7673} and enjoy{H7521} its sabbaths.{H7676} 35 As long as{H3117} it lieth desolate{H8074} it shall have rest,{H7673} even the rest{H7673} which it had not in your sabbaths,{H7676} when ye dwelt{H3427} upon it. 36 And as for them that are left{H7604} of you, I will send{H935} a faintness{H4816} into their heart{H3824} in the lands{H776} of their enemies:{H341} and the sound{H6963} of a driven{H5086} leaf{H5929} shall chase{H7291} them; and they shall flee,{H5127} as one fleeth{H4499} from the sword;{H2719} and they shall fall{H5307} when none pursueth.{H7291} 37 And they shall stumble{H3782} one{H376} upon another,{H251} as it were before{H6440} the sword,{H2719} when none pursueth:{H7291} and ye shall have no power to stand{H8617} before{H6440} your enemies.{H341} 38 And ye shall perish{H6} among the nations,{H1471} and the land{H776} of your enemies{H341} shall eat you up.{H398} 39 And they that are left{H7604} of you shall pine away{H4743} in their iniquity{H5771} in your enemies'{H341} lands;{H776} and also in the iniquities{H5771} of their fathers{H1} shall they pine away{H4743} with them. 40 And they shall confess{H3034} their iniquity,{H5771} and the iniquity{H5771} of their fathers,{H1} in their trespass{H4604} which they trespassed{H4603} against me, and also that, because they walked{H1980} contrary{H7147} unto me, 41 I also walked{H3212} contrary{H7147} unto them, and brought{H935} them into the land{H776} of their enemies:{H341} if then{H176} their uncircumcised{H6189} heart{H3824} be humbled,{H3665} and they then accept{H7521} of the punishment of their iniquity;{H5771} 42 then will I remember{H2142} my covenant{H1285} with Jacob;{H3290} and also my covenant{H1285} with Isaac,{H3327} and also my covenant{H1285} with Abraham{H85} will I remember;{H2142} and I will remember{H2142} the land.{H776} 43 The land{H776} also shall be left{H5800} by them, and shall enjoy{H7521} its sabbaths,{H7676} while it lieth desolate{H8074} without them: and they shall accept{H7521} of the punishment of their iniquity;{H5771} because,{H3282} even because{H3282} they rejected{H3988} mine ordinances,{H4941} and their soul{H5315} abhorred{H1602} my statutes.{H2708} 44 And yet{H637} for all that,{H2063} when they are{H1571} in the land{H776} of their enemies,{H341} I will not reject{H3988} them, neither will I abhor{H1602} them, to destroy them utterly,{H3615} and to break{H6565} my covenant{H1285} with them; for I am Jehovah{H3068} their God;{H430} 45 but I will for their sakes remember{H2142} the covenant{H1285} of their ancestors,{H7223} whom I brought forth{H3318} out of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} in the sight{H5869} of the nations,{H1471} that I might be their God:{H430} I am Jehovah.{H3068} 46 These are the statutes{H2706} and ordinances{H4941} and laws,{H8451} which Jehovah{H3068} made{H5414} between him and the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} in mount{H2022} Sinai{H5514} by{H3027} Moses.{H4872}
