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 will
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.
