Leviticus 26
- 1
- 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.
- 2
- Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
am the LORD.
- 3
- If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and
do them;
- 4
- 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.
- 5
- 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.
- 6
- 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.
- 7
- And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall
before you by the sword.
- 8
- 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.
- 9
- For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful,
and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
- 10
- And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old
because of the new.
- 11
- And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not
abhor you.
- 12
- And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye
shall be my people.
- 13
- 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.
- 14
- But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all
these commandments;
- 15
- 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:
- 16
- 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.
- 17
- 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.
- 18
- And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me,
then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
- 19
- And I will break the pride of your power; and I will
make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
- 20
- 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.
- 21
- 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.
- 22
- 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 high ways shall be desolate.
- 23
- And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things,
but will walk contrary unto me;
- 24
- Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish
you yet seven times for your sins.
- 25
- 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.
- 26
- 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.
- 27
- And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but
walk contrary unto me;
- 28
- Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I,
even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
- 29
- And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh
of your daughters shall ye eat.
- 30
- 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.
- 31
- And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
odours.
- 32
- And I will bring the land into desolation: and your
enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
- 33
- 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.
- 34
- 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.
- 35
- As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it
did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
- 36
- 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.
- 37
- 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.
- 38
- And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of
your enemies shall eat you up.
- 39
- 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.
- 40
- 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;
- 41
- 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:
- 42
- 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.
- 43
- 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.
- 44
- 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.
- 45
- 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.
- 46
- 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.
