31. I will reduce your cities to ruins and devastate your sanctuaries. I will not smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
32. I also will devastate the land, so that your enemies who come to live there will be appalled by it.
33. But I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword to chase after you. So your land will become desolate, and your cities will become ruins.
34. “Then the land will make up for its Sabbath years during the time it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and make up for its Sabbaths.
35. As long as it lies desolate, it will have the rest it did not have during your Sabbaths when you lived there.
36. “I will put anxiety in the hearts of those of you who survive in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a wind-driven leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as one flees from a sword, and fall though no one is pursuing them.
37. They will stumble over one another as if fleeing from a sword though no one is pursuing them. You will not be able to stand against your enemies.
38. You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.
39. Those who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away because of their sin; they will also waste away because of their fathers’ sins along with theirs.
