Leviticus 26
- 1You shall make you no idols or carved idol, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it. For I am the Lord your God.
- 2You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
- 3If you walk in my laws, and keep my commandments, and do them.
- 4Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
- 5And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and live in your land safely.
- 6And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
- 7And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
- 8And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
- 9For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
- 10And you shall eat old store, and clear out the old to make room for the new.
- 11And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not hate you.
- 12And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
- 13I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
- 14But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments.
- 15And if you shall despise my laws, or if your soul hate my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant:
- 16I also will do this to you. I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
- 17And I will set my face against you, and you shall be killed before your enemies: those who hate you shall reign over you. You shall flee when none pursues you.
- 18And if you will not yet for all this listen to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
- 19And I will break the pride of your power. I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze:
- 20And your strength shall be spent in vain. For your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
- 21And if you walk contrary to me, and will not listen to me. I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.
- 22I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. Your high ways shall be ruined.
- 23And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me.
- 24Then I will also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
- 25And I will bring a sword on you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the plague among you. You shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
- 26And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
- 27And if you will not for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me.
- 28Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury. I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.
- 29And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.
- 30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your dead bodies on the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul shall hate you.
- 31And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to ruin, and I will not smell the aroma of your sweet aromas.
- 32And I will bring the land into ruin: and your enemies who live in it shall be astonished at it.
- 33And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be ruined, and your cities waste.
- 34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies ruined, and you be in your enemies' land. Even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
- 35As long as it lies ruined it shall rest. Because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.
- 36And on those who are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them. They shall flee, as fleeing from a sword. They shall fall when none pursues.
- 37And they shall fall one on another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
- 38And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
- 39And those who are left of you shall pine away in their wrongdoing in your enemies' lands. Also in the wrongdoings of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
- 40If they shall confess their wrongdoing, and the wrongdoing of their fathers, with their sin which they sinned against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me.
- 41And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their wrongdoing:
- 42Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember. I will remember the land.
- 43The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies ruined without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their wrongdoing: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul hated my laws.
- 44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I hate them, to destroy them completely, and to break my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
- 45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, who I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.
- 46These are the decrees and judgments and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
