Leviticus 26:7-24

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

⁸Five 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.

⁹“‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

¹⁰You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

¹¹I will set my tent amongst you, and my soul won’t abhor you.

¹²I will walk amongst you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

¹³I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.

¹⁴“‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments,

¹⁵and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,

¹⁶I 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.

¹⁷I 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.

¹⁸“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

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

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

²¹“‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.

²²I will send the wild animals amongst you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number. Your roads will become desolate.

²³“‘If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary to me,

²⁴then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.
