But if they
confess their sinsÉ I will remember my covenant
with Jacob,É and I will remember the land. For the land
will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it
lies desolate without themÉ. Yet
in spite of this, when they
are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or
abhor them so as to destroy them completely, breaking my
covenant with themÉ. But for their
sake I will
remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out
of EgyptÉ (verses 40-45)
