39

But if some few of these still remain, they shall waste away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they will be afflicted, because of the sins of their fathers and their own sins,

40

until they confess their iniquities, and those of their ancestors, by which they have transgressed against me and walked as adversaries to me.

41

Therefore, I also will walk against them, and I will lead them into a hostile land, until their uncircumcised mind shall be ashamed. Then shall they pray on behalf of their impiety.

42

And I will remember my covenant, which I formed with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will also remember the land,

43

which, when she will be left behind by them, shall be pleased by her Sabbaths, enduring solitude because of them. Yet truly, they shall pray for their sins, because they cast aside my judgments, and they despised my laws.
