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.
