Leviticus 26:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 26:31

29 ^aYou¹ shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 ^aI will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;
and My soul shall abhor you.

31 I will lay your ^acities waste and ^bbring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not ^csmell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.

32 ^aI will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33 ^aI will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

34 ^aThen the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;
then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—
for the time it did not rest on your ^asabbaths when you dwelt in it.

36 ‘And as for those of you who are left, I will send ^afaintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;
the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;
they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.
