New King James Version

Leviticus 26:31-36 New King James Version (NKJV)

31. I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.

32. I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33. I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

34. Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35. As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

36. ‘And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.
