14. But I will punish the nation that enslaves them, and when they leave that foreign land, they will take great wealth with them.

15. You yourself will live to a ripe old age, die in peace, and be buried.

16. It will be four generations before your descendants come back here, because I will not drive out the Amorites until they become so wicked that they must be punished.”
