Leviticus 26:31

26:31 I will lay your cities waste ¹  and make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will refuse to smell your soothing aromas.

Leviticus 26:25

26:25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. ²  Although ³  you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands. ⁴ 

[26:31]  ¹ tn Heb “And I will give your cities a waste”; NLT “make your cities desolate.”

[26:25]  ² tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”

[26:25]  ³ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.

[26:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).
