Leviticus 26:31

Verse 31 of 46. The 26th of 27 chapters in Leviticus, in The Law.

27“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me,

28then I will walk contrary to you in wrath. I will also chastise you seven times for your sins.

29You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

30I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

31I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

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

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

34Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your Sabbaths when you lived on it.
