Leviticus 26
1 Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.
Ye shall make you none idoles nor grauen image, neither reare you vp any pillar, neither shall ye set any image of stone in your land to bow downe to it: for I am the Lord your God.
2 Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.
Ye shall keepe my Sabbaths, and reuerence my Sanctuarie: I am the Lord.
3 If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,
If ye walke in mine ordinances, and keepe my commandements, and doe them,
4 Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;
I will then sende you raine in due season, and the land shall yelde her increase, and the trees of the fielde shall giue her fruite.
5 And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.
And your threshing shall reache vnto the vintage, and the vintage shall reache vnto sowing time, and you shall eate your bread in plenteousnesse, and dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.
And I will sende peace in the land, and ye shall sleepe and none shall make you afraid: also I will rid euill beastes out of the lande, and the sworde shall not go through your lande.
7 And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.
Also ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you vpon the sworde.
8 Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.
And fiue of you shall chase an hundreth, and an hundreth of you shall put ten thousande to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you vpon the sworde.
9 And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.
For I will haue respect vnto you, and make you encrease, and multiplie you, and establish my couenant with you.
10 And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;
Ye shall eate also olde store, and cary out olde because of the newe.
11 And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust.
And I will set my Tabernacle among you, and my soule shall not lothe you.
12 And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.
Also I will walke among you, and I wil be your God, and ye shalbe my people.
13 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.
I am the Lord your God which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, that yee should not be their bondmen, and I haue broken ye bonds of your yoke, and made you goe vpright.
14 But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;
But if ye will not obey me, nor do all these commandements,
15 And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;
And if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your soule abhorre my lawes, so that yee will not do all my commandements, but breake my couenant,
16 This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.
Then wil I also do this vnto you, I wil appoint ouer you fearefulnes, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eyes, and make the heart heauie, and you shall sowe your seede in vaine: for your enemies shall eate it:
17 And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fal before your enemies, and they that hate you, shall raigne ouer you, and yee shall flee when none pursueth you.
18 And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.
And if ye wil not for these things obey me, then wil I punish you seuen times more, according to your sinnes,
19 And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;
And I wil breake the pride of your power, and I will make your heauen as yron, and your earth as brasse:
20 And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.
And your strength shalbe spent in vaine: neither shall your lande giue her increase, neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite.
21 And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.
And if ye walke stubburnly against me, and will not obey mee, I will then bring seuen times more plagues vpon you, according to your sinnes.
22 I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.
I will also sende wilde beastes vpon you, which shall spoyle you, and destroy your cattell, and make you fewe in number: so your hye waies shalbe desolate.
23 And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;
Yet if by these ye will not be reformed by me, but walke stubburnly against me,
24 Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.
Then wil I also walke stubburnly against you, and I will smite you yet seuen times for your sinnes:
25 And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.
And I wil send a sword vpon you, that shall auenge the quarel of my couenant: and when ye are gathered in your cities, I wil send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be deliuered into the hand of the enemie.
26 When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.
When I shall breake the staffe of your bread, then ten women shall bake your breade in one ouen, and they shall deliuer your bread againe by weight, and ye shall eate, but not be satisfied.
27 And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,
Yet if ye will not for this obey mee, but walke against me stubburnly,
28 Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.
Then will I walke stubburnly in mine anger against you, and I will also chastice you seuen times more according to your sinnes.
29 Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;
And ye shall eate ye flesh of your sonnes, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye deuoure.
30 And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.
I will also destroy your hye places, and cut away your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.
31 And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;
And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your Sanctuarie vnto nought, and will not smelll the sauour of your sweete odours.
32 And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.
I will also bring the land vnto a wildernes, and your enemies, which dwell therein, shalbe astonished thereat.
33 And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.
Also I wil scatter you among the heathen, and will drawe out a sworde after you, and your land shalbe waste, and your cities shalbe desolate.
34 Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.
Then shall the land inioy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth voide, and yee shalbe in your enemies land: then shall the land rest, and enioy her Sabbaths.
35 All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.
All the dayes that it lieth voide, it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt vpon it.
36 And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;
And vpon them that are left of you, I will send euen a faintnes into their hearts in ye land of their enemies, and the sounde of a leafeshaken shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall, no man pursuing them.
37 Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.
They shall fall also one vpon another, as before a sword, though none pursue them, and ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies:
38 And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.
And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eate you vp.
39 And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.
And they that are left of you, shall pine away for their iniquitie, in your enemies landes, and for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them also.
40 And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;
Then they shall confesse their iniquitie, and the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse, which they haue trespassed against mee, and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me.
41 So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,
Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled, and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie.
42 Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.
Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak, and also my couenant with Abraham will I remember, and will remember the land.
43 And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.
The land also in the meane season shalbe left of them, and shall enioye her Sabbaths while she lieth waste without them, but they shall willingly suffer the punishment of their iniquitie, because they despised my lawes, and because their soule abhorred mine ordinances.
44 But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.
Yet notwithstanding this, when they shalbe in the lande of their enemies, I wil not cast them away, neither will I abhorre them, to destroy them vtterly, nor to breake my couenant with them: for I am the Lord their God:
45 And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.
But I will remember for them the couenant of olde when I brought them out of ye land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen that I might be their God: I am the Lord.
46 These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
These are the ordinances, and the iudgements, and the lawes, which the Lord made betweene him, and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
