31 I will turn your cities into ruins, destroy your places of worship, and refuse to accept your sacrifices.
32 I will destroy your land so completely that the enemies who occupy it will be shocked at the destruction.
33 I will bring war on you and scatter you in foreign lands. Your land will be deserted, and your cities left in ruins.
34-35 Then the land will enjoy the years of complete rest that you would not give it; it will lie abandoned and get its rest while you are in exile in the land of your enemies.
36 “I will make those of you who are in exile so terrified that the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will make you run. You will run as if you were being pursued in battle, and you will fall when there is no enemy near you.
37 You will stumble over one another when no one is chasing you, and you will be unable to fight against any enemy.
38 You will die in exile, swallowed up by the land of your enemies.
