Leviticus 26:32-36 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.
