Seeker Overlay ON
*
But if ye will not hearken unto me and will not do all these my commandments ;
*
and if ye shall despise my statutes or if your soul should abhor my rights so that ye will not do all my commandments [
but ]
that ye break my covenant ,
*
I also will do this unto you :
I will even appoint over you terror ,
consumption ,
and the burning ague that shall consume the eyes and torment the soul ,
and ye shall sow your seed in vain ,
for your enemies shall eat it .
*
And I will place my wrath upon you ,
and ye shall be slain before your enemies ;
those that hate you shall reign over you ;
and ye shall flee when no one pursues you .
*
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me ,
then I will punish you seven times more for your sins .
*
And I will break the pride of your stronghold ,
and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as bronze .
*
And your strength shall be spent in vain ;
for your land shall not yield her increase ,
neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits .
*
And if ye walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me ;
I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins .
*
I will also send wild beasts among you which shall rapture your children and destroy your animals and make you few in number ,
and your ways shall be desolate .
*
And if ye will not be corrected by me by these things ,
but will walk contrary unto me ,
*
then will I also walk contrary unto you and will punish you yet seven times for your sins .
*
And I will bring an avenging sword upon you ,
in vindication of the covenant ;
and ye shall gather together within your cities ;
but I will send pestilence among you ,
and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy .
*
When I have broken the staff of your bread ,
ten women shall bake your bread in one oven ,
and they shall deliver [
you ]
your bread again by weight ,
and ye shall eat and not be satisfied .
*
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me but walk contrary unto me ,
*
then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury ,
and I ,
even I ,
will chastise you seven times for your sins .
*
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons ,
and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat .
*
And I will destroy your high places and cut down your images and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols ,
and my soul shall abhor you .
*
And I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation ,
and I will not smell the aroma of your suave [
incense ].
*
And I will bring the land into desolation ,
and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it .
*
And I will scatter you among the Gentiles and will draw out a sword after you ,
and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste .
*
Then shall the land rest for her sabbaths all the days that it lies desolate ,
while you are in your enemies '
land ; [
even ]
then shall the land rest and enjoy her sabbaths .
*
All the time that it shall be desolate ,
it shall rest that which it did not rest in your sabbaths when ye dwelt upon it .
*
And upon those that are left [
alive ]
of you I will send [
such ]
cowardice into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ,
that the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them ;
and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword ;
and they shall fall when none pursue .
*
And they shall fall one upon another ,
as it were before a sword ,
when none pursue ;
and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies .
*
And ye shall perish among the Gentiles ,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up .
*
And those that are left of you shall pine away for their iniquity in your enemies '
lands ;
and for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them .
*
And they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers for their trespass which they trespassed against me and that also they have walked contrary unto me ,
*
and [
that ]
I also have walked contrary unto them and have brought them into the land of their enemies ;
and then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled ,
and they shall plead because their iniquity ;
*
and I will remember my covenant [
with ]
Jacob and likewise my covenant [
with ]
Isaac ,
and also my covenant [
with ]
Abraham will I remember ,
and I will remember the land .
*
That the land shall be without them and shall rest her sabbaths ,
being desolate because of them ;
and they shall plead because of their iniquity because they despised my rights and their soul abhorred my statutes .
*
And yet for all that ,
when they are in the land of their enemies ,
I will not cast them away ,
neither will I abhor them to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them ;
for I AM their God .
*
But I will remember them [
because of ]
the old covenant ,
when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the Gentiles ,
that I might be their God :
I [
am ]
the LORD .
*
These [
are ]
the statutes and rights and laws ,
which the LORD established between him and the sons of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses .:
