Leviticus 26:1-31

¹Ye shall not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.

²My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

³If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, and do them:

⁴Then will I give you rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its fruit.

⁵And the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell in safety in your land.

⁶And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass through your land.

⁷And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹And I will turn myself unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and I will establish my covenant with you.

¹⁰And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of the new.

¹¹And I will set my dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath you.

¹²And I will walk among you, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people.

¹³I am the Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk upright.

¹⁴But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

¹⁵And if my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye break my covenant:

¹⁶Then will I also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.

¹⁸And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, sevenfold for your sins.

¹⁹And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as copper:

²⁰And in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land shall not yield its fruit.

²¹And if ye walk yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold according to your sins.

²²And I will send out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall be desolate.

²³And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and walk contrary unto me:

²⁴Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and I also will punish you, sevenfold for your sins.

²⁵And I will bring over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves into the hand of the enemy;

²⁶When I break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

²⁷And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me:

²⁸Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins.

²⁹And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

³⁰And I will destroy your high-places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath you.

³¹And I will render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
