Leviticus 26 — Context

37

Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

38

And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

39

And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

40

And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

41

So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

42

Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

43

And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.
