AB - Leviticus - 26

26:1  I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven images; neither shall you rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall you set up a stone for an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.

26:2  You shall keep My Sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuaries: I am the Lord.

26:3  If you will walk in My ordinances, and keep My commandments, and do them,

26:4  then will I give you the rain in its season, and the land shall produce its fruits, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

26:5  And your threshing time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seedtime; and you shall eat your bread to the full; and you shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your land.

26:6  And I will give peace in your land, and you shall sleep, and none shall make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land,

26:7  and you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter.

26:8  And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase tens of thousands; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

26:9  And I will look upon you, and increase you, and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you.

26:10  And you shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for the new.

26:11  And I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you;

26:12  and I will walk among you, and be your God, and you shall be My people.

26:13  I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly.

26:14  But if you will not hearken to Me, nor obey these My ordinances,

26:15  but disobey them, and your soul should loathe My judgments, so that you should not keep all My commands, so as to break My covenant,

26:16  then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and disease that consumes your life; and you shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.

26:17  And I will set My face against you, and you shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and you shall flee, no one pursuing you.

26:18  And if you still refuse to hearken to Me, then will I chasten you yet more, even seven times for your sins.

26:19  And I will break down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth like brass.

26:20  And your strength shall be in vain; and your land shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its fruit.

26:21  And if after this you should walk perversely, and not be willing to obey Me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues according to your sins.

26:22  And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle; and I will make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate.

26:23  And if hereupon you are not corrected, but walk perversely towards Me,

26:24  I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will smite you seven times for your sins.

26:25  And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of My covenant, and you shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

26:26  When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

26:27  And if hereupon you will not obey Me, but walk perversely towards Me,

26:28  then will I walk contrary to you in fury, and I will chasten you seven-fold according to your sins.

26:29  And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.

26:30  And I will render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden images made with hands; and I will lay your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul shall loathe you.

26:31  And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savor of your sacrifices.

26:32  And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder at it.

26:33  And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.

26:34  Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its desolation.

26:35  And you shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its Sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep Sabbaths which it kept not among your Sabbaths, when you dwelt in it.

26:36  And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none pursues them.

26:37  And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and you shall not be able to withstand your enemies.

26:38  And you shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you.

26:39  And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume away.

26:40  And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected Me, and that they have walked perversely before Me,

26:41  and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in the punishment of their sins.

26:42  And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraham will I remember.

26:43  And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her Sabbaths, when it is deserted through them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquities, because they neglected My judgments, and in their soul loathed My ordinances.

26:44  And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break My covenant made with them; for I am the Lord their God.

26:45  And I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, to be their God; I am the Lord.

26:46  These are My judgments and My ordinances, and the law which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
