40 ‘But (A)if they confess their wrongdoing and the wrongdoing of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me— 41 I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—(B)or if their uncircumcised heart is humbled so that (C)they then make amends for their wrongdoing, 42 then I will remember (D)My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also (E)My covenant with Isaac, and (F)My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land. 43 (G)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 (H)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 (I)loathe them as (J)to destroy them, (K)breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will remember for them the (L)covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that (M)I might be their God. I am the Lord.’”

They will pay for their sins because they rejected(L) my laws and abhorred my decrees.(M) 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,(N) I will not reject them or abhor(O) them so as to destroy them completely,(P) breaking my covenant(Q) with them.
