Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is deserted through them: and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquities, because they neglected my judgments, and in their soul loathed my ordinances.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Καὶ τῆς γῆς μνησθήσομαι, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐγκαταλειφθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· τότε προσδέξεται ἡ γῆ τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς, ἐν τῷ ἐρημωθῆναι αὐτὴν διʼ αὐτούς· καὶ αὐτοὶ προσδέξονται τὰς αὐτῶν ἀνομίας, ἀνθʼ ὧν τὰ κρίματά μου ὑπερεῖδον, καὶ τοῖς προστάγμασί μου προσώχθισαν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν.
