Leviticus 26
- Ye shall make you no idols nor graven
image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image
of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
- Ye shall keep my sabbaths,
and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
- If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
- Then 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.
- And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage
shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and
dwell in your land safely.
- And I will give peace in the land, and ye 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.
- And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by
the sword.
- And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall
put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the
sword.
- For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply
you, and establish my covenant with you.
- And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the
new.
- And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor
you.
- And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my
people.
- I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen;
and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
- But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments;
- And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my
covenant:
- I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause
sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat
it.
- And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before
your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when
none pursueth you.
- And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will
punish you seven times more for your sins.
- And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your
heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
- And 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.
- And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I
will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
- I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your
highways shall be desolate.
- And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me;
- Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet
seven times for your sins.
- And I will bring a sword upon you, that
shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together
within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be
delivered into the hand of the enemy.
- And 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 ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
- And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;
- Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will
chastise you seven times for your sins.
- And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
- And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and
cast your carcases upon the carcases
of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
- And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your
sweet odours.
- And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
- And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword
after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
- Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths,
as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your
enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
- As long as it lieth desolate it shall
rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths,
when ye dwelt upon it.
- And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;
and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as
fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
- And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to
stand before your enemies.
- And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up.
- And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they
pine away with them.
- If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also
they have walked contrary unto me;
- And that I also have walked contrary unto 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 iniquity:
- Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant
with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will
remember the land.
- The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments,
and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
- And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly,
and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
- But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of the land
of Egypt in the sight of
the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
- These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made
between him and the children of Israel
in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
