43 (A)For the land will be abandoned by them, and will restore its Sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their wrongdoing, [a]because they rejected My ordinances and their (B)soul loathed My statutes. 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so (C)loathe them as (D)to destroy them, (E)breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will remember for them the (F)covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that (G)I might be their God. I am the Lord.’”
