NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ »‘I will bring war on you to get revenge for my promise you rejected. When you gather in your cities, I will send plagues on you and you will fall under the control of your enemy. ²⁶ »‘I will destroy your food supply. Ten women will need only one oven to prepare your food. You will eat and go away hungry. ²⁷ »‘If in spite of this you do not listen to me and still resist me, ²⁸ »‘I will resist you with great fury. I will discipline you seven times for your sins. ²⁹ »‘You will eat the bodies of your sons and daughters. ³⁰ »‘I will destroy your worship sites. I will cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on top of your dead idols. I will view you with disgust. ³¹ »‘I will make your cities deserted and ruin your sacred places. I will no longer accept the soothing aroma from your sacrifices. ³² »‘I will make your land so deserted that your enemies will be shocked as they settle in it. ³³ »‘I will scatter you among the nations. War will follow you. Your country will be in ruins. Your cities will be deserted. ³⁴ »‘Then the land will enjoy its time to honor Jehovah while it lies deserted. You will be in your enemies' land. Then the land will joyfully celebrate its time to honor Jehovah. ³⁵ »‘All the days it lies deserted, it will celebrate the time to honor Jehovah it never celebrated while you lived there. ³⁶ »‘I will fill those who are left in the land of their enemies with despair. The sound of a windblown leaf will make them run. They will run away and fall, but no one will be chasing them. ³⁷ »‘They will stumble over each other. Yet no one will be after them. They will not be able to stand up to their enemies. ³⁸ »‘They will be destroyed among the nations. The land of their enemies will devour them. ³⁹ »‘Those who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors. ⁴⁰ »‘However if they confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors and the treacherous things they did to oppose me, ⁴¹ »‘I will oppose them and bring them into the lands of their enemies. Then, if they humble their uncircumcised hearts and accept their guilt, ⁴² »‘I will remember my promise to Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. I will also remember the land. ⁴³ »‘The land, abandoned by them, will enjoy its time to honor Jehovah while it lies deserted without them. They must accept their guilt because they rejected my rules and looked at my laws with disgust. ⁴⁴ »‘Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or look at them with disgust. I will not reject or cancel my promise to them, because I am Jehovah their God. ⁴⁵ »‘For their well being, I will remember the promise to their ancestors. I brought them out of Egypt to be their God while nations looked on. I am Jehovah!’« ⁴⁶ These are the laws, rules, and instructions Jehovah gave to the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
