39 And those of you who are left shall ^brot away in your enemies’ lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40 “But if ^cthey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ^dcommitted against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their ^euncircumcised heart is ^fhumbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will ^gremember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will ^hremember the land.

29 ^sBut from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you ^tin the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. 31 For the Lord your God is ^ua merciful God. ^vHe will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.

2 and ^kreturn to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the Lord your God ^lwill restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will ^mgather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.
