Leviticus 26

1 You shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither raise 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.

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 sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

3 If you walk in my statutes, 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 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 the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

5 And 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 dwell in your land safely.

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 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.

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 chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.

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.

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 For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, 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 old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

11 And I 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 will 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, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

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, and will not do all these commandments;

But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,

15 And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you 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 I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

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 be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues 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 will not yet for all this listen to me, then I will punish you seven times more 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 the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as 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 spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

21 And 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.

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 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.

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 you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me;

And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:

24 Then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet 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 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 pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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 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 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 you will not for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me;

But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:

28 Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for 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 destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor 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 make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the smell of your sweet odors.

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 bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished 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 heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

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 shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be

35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on 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 on 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 pursues.

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 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.

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 heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy’s land shall consume you.

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.

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 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 to me;

Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.

41 And 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 iniquity:

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 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.

And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:

43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
