Leviticus, Chapter 26

26:1 You+ will not make yourselves idols, neither will you+ rear yourselves up a graven image, or a pillar, neither will you+ place any figured stone in your+ land, to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your+ God.
26:2 You+ will keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yahweh.
26:3 If you+ walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
26:4 then I will give your+ rains in their season, and the land will yield its increase, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.
26:5 And your+ threshing will reach to the vintage, and the vintage will reach to the sowing time; and you+ will eat your+ bread to the full, and dwell in your+ land safely.
26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and you+ will lie down, and none will make you+ afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither will the sword go through your+ land.
26:7 And you+ will chase your+ enemies, and they will fall before you+ by the sword.
26:8 And five of you+ will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you+ will chase ten thousand; and your+ enemies will fall before you+ by the sword.
26:9 And I will have respect to you+, and make you+ fruitful, and multiply you+, and will establish my covenant with you+.
26:10 And you+ will eat old store long kept, and you+ will bring forth the old because of the new.
26:11 And I will set my tabernacle among you+: and my soul will not abhor you+.
26:12 And I will walk among you+, and will be your+ God, and you+ will be my people.
26:13 I am Yahweh your+ God, who brought you+ forth out of the land of Egypt, that you+ should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your+ yoke, and made you+ go upright.
26:14 But if you+ will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;
26:15 and if you+ will reject my statutes, and if your+ soul abhors my ordinances, so that you+ will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;
26:16 I also will do this to you+: I will appoint terror over you+, even consumption and fever, that will consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you+ will sow your+ seed in vain, for your+ enemies will eat it.
26:17 And 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 none pursues you+.
26:18 And if you+ will not yet for these things listen to me, then I will chastise you+ seven times more for your+ sins.
26:19 And I will break the pride of your+ power: and I will make your+ heaven as iron, and your+ earth as bronze;
26:20 and your+ strength will be spent in vain; for your+ land will not yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
26:21 And if you+ walk contrary to me, and will not listen to me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you+ according to your+ sins.
26:22 And I will send the beast of the field among you+, which will rob you+ of your+ children, and destroy your+ cattle, and make you+ few in number; and your+ ways will become desolate.
26:23 And if by these things you+ will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;
26:24 then I will also walk contrary to you+; and I will strike you+, even I, seven times for your+ sins.
26:25 And I will bring a sword on you+, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you+ will be gathered together inside your+ cities: and I will send the pestilence among you+; and you+ will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26:26 When I break your+ staff of bread, ten women will bake your+ bread in one oven, and they will deliver your+ bread again by weight: and you+ will eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 And if you+ will not for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me;
26:28 then I will walk contrary to you+ in wrath; and I also will chastise you+ seven times for your+ sins.
26:29 And you+ will eat the flesh of your+ sons, and the flesh of your+ daughters you+ will eat.
26:30 And I will destroy your+ high places, and cut down your+ sun-images, and cast your+ dead bodies on the bodies of your+ idols; and my soul will abhor you+.
26:31 And I will make your+ cities a waste, and will bring your+ sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your+ sweet odors.
26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation; and your+ enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.
26:33 And you+ I will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you+: and your+ land will be a desolation, and your+ cities will be a waste.
26:34 Then will the land enjoy its Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you+ are in your+ enemies' land; even then will the land rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths.
26:35 As long as it lies desolate it will have rest, even the rest which it did not have in your+ Sabbaths, when you+ dwelt on it.
26:36 And as for those who are left of you+, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will chase them; and they will flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when none pursues.
26:37 And they will stumble one on another, as it were before the sword, when none pursues: and you+ will have no power to stand before your+ enemies.
26:38 And you+ will perish among the nations, and the land of your+ enemies will eat you+ up.
26:39 And those who are left of you+ will pine away in their iniquity in your+ enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they will pine away with them.
26:40 And they will confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,
26:41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity;
26:42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham I will remember; and I will remember the land.
26:43 The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths, while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
26:44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them completely, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God;
26:45 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 nations, that I might be their God: I am Yahweh.
26:46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the sons of Israel in mount Sinai by Moses.
