43 For the land will be deserted(A) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected(B) my laws and abhorred my decrees.(C) 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,(D) I will not reject them or abhor(E) them so as to destroy them completely,(F) breaking my covenant(G) with them. I am the Lord their God. 45 But for their sake I will remember(H) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt(I) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”

43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God.

45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.

30 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee,

And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
