Leviticus 26:16-20 in English

¹⁶ I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; 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 smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

¹⁸ And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise 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 its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

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 ye shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.

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

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

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.

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.

¹⁶ these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.

¹⁷ I will reject/abandon you IDM, with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and you will be so terrified that you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.

¹⁸ If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.

¹⁹ I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause no rain to fall; it will be as though MET the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be as hard as brass MET.

²⁰ You will uselessly work very hard to plant seeds, because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.

¹⁹ I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like bronze.

²⁰ Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

¹⁹ I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like bronze.

²⁰ Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

¹⁶ This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

¹⁷ And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

¹⁸ And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

¹⁹ And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

²⁰ And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

¹⁶ I also will do this unto you — I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

¹⁶ I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

¹⁷ I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.

¹⁸ But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:

²⁰ Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

¹⁶ then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.

¹⁷ I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

¹⁸ If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

¹⁹ I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

²⁰ Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

¹⁹ And I wil breake the pride of your power, and I will make your heauen as yron, and your earth as brasse:

²⁰ And your strength shalbe spent in vaine: neither shall your lande giue her increase, neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite.

¹⁶ I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

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

²⁰ And 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.

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 ye shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.

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

¹⁸ And if yet with these ye will not obey My Word, I will add sevenfold chastisement upon your sins.

¹⁹ And I will break the glory of your power, and will make the heavens above you obdurate as iron, to give no rain, and the ground beneath you hard as brass in yielding no fruit;

²⁰ And your strength shall be put forth in vain, for your ground will not yield its produce, nor the tree of the earth its fruit.

¹⁶ I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

¹⁷ I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.
