31 I'll wipe out your towns and your places of worship and will no longer be pleased with the smell of your sacrifices.
32 Your land will become so desolate that even your enemies who settle there will be shocked when they see it.
33 After I destroy your towns and ruin your land with war, I'll scatter you among the nations.
34-35 While you are prisoners in foreign lands, your own land will enjoy years of rest and refreshment, as it should have done each seventh year when you lived there.
36-37 In the land of your enemies, you will tremble at the rustle of a leaf, as though it were a sword. And you will become so weak that you will stumble and fall over each other, even when no one is chasing you.
38 Many of you will die in foreign lands,
39 and others of you will waste away in sorrow as the result of your sins and the sins of your ancestors.
