Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 26:8-20

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, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with you. (RY:5, LY:3)

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

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

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

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

¹⁴“‘But if you will not sh'ma ·hear obey· me, and will not do all these mitzvot ·instructions·;

¹⁵and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my judgments, so that you will not do all my mitzvot ·instructions·, but break my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·;

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 sh'ma ·hear obey· 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.
