Leviticus 26:40

Read in context

Leviticus 26:38–42 · Berean Standard Bible

38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.

39 Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.

40 But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—

41 and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,

42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
