Leviticus 26:39-41

New International Reader's Version

³⁹ You who are left in those lands will become weaker and weaker. You will die because of your sins and the sins of your people who lived before you.

⁴⁰ “ ‘But suppose you admit that both you and your people who lived before you have sinned. You admit the evil and dishonest things you have done against me. And you admit you have become my enemy. ⁴¹ What you did made me become your enemy. I let your enemies take you into their land. But suppose you stop being stubborn. You stop being proud. And you pay for your sin.
