31And I will make your cities a ruin, and I will lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the pleasing aroma of your offerings.

32And I myself will lay the land waste, and your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled at it.

33And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you; and your land will become a desolation, and your cities will become ruins.

34Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its desolation, while you are in the land of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35All the days of its desolation it shall rest—the rest that it did not have during your Sabbaths, while you were dwelling on it.
