Leviticus 26

Ye shall make you no ^aidols nor ^bgraven 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. ^2cYe shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

^3dIf ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; ⁴then I will give you ^erain in due season, ^fand the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. ⁵And ^gyour threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ^hye shall eat your bread to the full, and ⁱdwell in your land safely. ⁶And I will give peace in the land, and ^kye shall lie down, and ^lnone shall make you afraid: and I will rid ^mevil beasts out of the land, neither shall ⁿthe sword go through your land. ⁷And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. ⁸And ^ofive 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. ⁹For I will ^phave respect unto you, and ^qmake you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. ¹⁰And ye shall eat ^rold store, and bring forth the old because of the new. ^11sAnd ^tI will set my tabernacle amongst you: and my soul shall not abhor you. ^12tAnd I will walk among you, and ^uwill be your God, and ye shall be my people. ^13wI am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; ^xand I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

^14yBut if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; ¹⁵and 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 ^zbreak my covenant: ¹⁶I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you ^aterror, ^bconsumption, and ^bthe burning ague, that shall ^cconsume the eyes, and ^ccause sorrow of heart: and ^dye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. ¹⁷And ^eI will set my face against you, and ^fye shall be slain before your enemies; ^gthey that hate you shall reign over you; and ^hye shall flee when none pursueth you. ¹⁸And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you ⁱseven times more for your sins. ¹⁹And I will break ^kthe pride of your power; and I ^lwill make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: ²⁰and your ^mstrength shall be spent in vain: for ⁿyour land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. ²¹And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times moe plagues upon you according to your sins. ^22oI 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 ^pyour high ways shall be desolate. ²³And if ye ^qwill not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; ^24rthen will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. ^25sAnd I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, ^tI will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. ^26uAnd 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 ^xye shall eat, and not be satisfied. ²⁷And ^yif ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; ²⁸then I will walk contrary unto you also ^zin fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. ^29aAnd ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. ³⁰And ^bI will destroy your high places, and cut down your ^bimages, and ^ccast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall ^dabhor you. ^31eAnd I will make your cities waste, and ^fbring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. ^32gAnd I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be ^hastonished at it. ³³And ⁱI will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. ^34kThen 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. ³⁵As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your ^lsabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. ³⁶And upon them that are left alive of you ^mI will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and ⁿthe sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. ³⁷And ^othey shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ^pye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. ³⁸And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. ³⁹And they that are left of you ^qshall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. ⁴⁰If they shall ^rconfess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with ^stheir trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; ⁴¹and that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their ^tuncircumcised hearts be ^uhumbled, and they then accept of ^wthe punishment of their iniquity: ⁴²then will I ^xremember 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. ^43yThe land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of ^wthe punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they ^zdespised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. ⁴⁴And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, ^aI will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to ^bbreak my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, ^cwhom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt ^din the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord. ^46eThese are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel ^fin mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
