Liturgy for Leviticus 26:36
וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִ֣ים בָּכֶ֔ם וְהֵבֵ֤אתִי מֹ֙רֶךְ֙ בִּלְבָבָ֔ם בְּאַרְצֹ֖ת אֹיְבֵיהֶ֑ם וְרָדַ֣ף אֹתָ֗ם ק֚וֹל עָלֶ֣ה נִדָּ֔ף וְנָס֧וּ מְנֻֽסַת־חֶ֛רֶב וְנָפְל֖וּ וְאֵ֥ין רֹדֵֽף׃
And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

Restore health14See Yirmiyahu 30:17. to a shaken leaf,15This refers to the nation of Yisrael in their exile. They are so weak and frightened that they run away even from the sound of a falling leaf. [See Vayikra 26:36, “and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them.”]—Mateh Levi console [us who are but] dust and ashes. Cast away our sins and be gracious with Your works; You see that there is no person16Of sufficient piety to plead for us. [therefore] deal charitably with us.
