37. They will stumble over each other, but no one will be after them. They will not be able to stand up to their enemies.
38. They will be destroyed among the nations. The land of their enemies will devour them.
39. Those who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors.
40. “But if they confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—the treacherous things they did to oppose me—
41. I will oppose them and bring them into the lands of their enemies. Then, if they humble their uncircumcised hearts and accept their guilt,
42. I will remember my promise to Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. I will also remember the land.
43. The land, abandoned by them, will enjoy its time to honor the Lord while it lies deserted without them. They must accept their guilt because they rejected my rules and looked at my laws with disgust.
44. Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or look at them with disgust. I will not reject or cancel my promise to them, because I am the Lord their God.
