Leviticus 26
1 I [am] the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall you rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall you set up a stone [for] an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.
I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God.
2 You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
3 If you will walk in my ordinances, and keep my commandments, and do them,
If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.
4 then will I give you the rain in its season, and the land shall produce its fruits, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.
5 And your threshing time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seed time; and you shall eat your bread to the full; and you shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your land.
The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.
6 And I will give peace in your land, and you shall sleep, and none [shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land,
I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.
7 and you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter.
You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.
8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase tens of thousands; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 And I will look upon you, and increase you, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.
10 And you shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for the new.
You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.
11 And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you;
I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.
12 and I will walk among you, and be your God, and you shall be my people.
I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly.
I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
14 But if you will not listen to me, nor obey these my ordinances,
But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,
15 but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that you should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant,
If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
16 then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and you shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.
I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.
17 And I will set my face against you, and you shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and you shall flee, no one pursuing you.
I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.
18 And if you still refuse to listen to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times for your sins.
But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,
19 And I will break down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth as it were brass.
And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:
20 And your strength shall be in vain; and your land shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its fruit.
Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.
21 And if after this you should walk perversely, and not be willing to obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues according to your sins.
If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:
22 And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate.
And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.
23 And if hereupon you are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me,
And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
24 I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will strike you seven times for your sins.
I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.
25 And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant, and you shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.
And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,
26 When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.
27 And if hereupon you will not obey me, but walk perversely towards me,
But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:
28 then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you sevenfold according to your sins.
I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
29 And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.
So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.
30 And I will render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you.
I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31 And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savor of your sacrifices.
Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.
32 And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder at it.
And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.
33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.
And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation.
Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be
35 And you shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your sabbaths, when you lived in it.
In the enemy’s land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.
36 And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none pursues them.
And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,
37 And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and you shall not be able to withstand your enemies.
And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.
38 And you shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you.
You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy’s land shall consume you.
39 And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume away.
And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:
40 And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before me,
Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.
41 and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the punishment of] their sins.
Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies’ land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.
42 And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraam will I remember.
And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:
43 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.
Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.
44 And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break my covenant made with them; for I am the Lord their God.
And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
45 And I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, to be their God; I am the Lord.
And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord.
46 These are my judgments and my ordinances, and the law which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the mount Sina, by the hand of Moses.
These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
