'But I shall leave a remnant, in that some of you shall escape the sword among the gentiles, when you are scattered throughout the lands.
9.
'And those of you who escape shall remember Me among the gentiles where they have been taken captive, because I have been broken by their adulterous heart which has turned away from Me, and by their eyes which whored after their idols.

14.
'And I shall stretch out My hand against them and make the land a wasteland, even more waste than the wilderness toward Diblah, in all their dwelling places. And they shall know that I am YHWH.''''
