* But if ye will not hearken unto me , and will not do all these commandments ; * And if my statutes ye despise , and if my ordinances your soul loath , so as not to do all my commandments , in that ye break my covenant : * Then will I also do this unto you , and I will inflict on you terror , consumption , and the burning ague , that consume the eyes , and cause sorrow of heart ; and ye shall sow in vain your seed , for your enemies shall eat it . * And I will set my face against you , and ye shall be struck down before your enemies : and they that hate you shall bear rule over you ; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you . * And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me : then will I chastise you yet more , sevenfold for your sins . * And I will break the pride of your power ; and I will make your heaven as iron , and your earth as copper : * 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 . * And if ye walk yet contrary unto me , and if you refuse to hearken unto me : then will I bring more plagues upon you , sevenfold according to your sins . * And I will send out against you the beasts of the field , which shall rob you of your children , and destroy your cattle , and diminish yourselves ; so that your roads shall be desolate . * And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me , and walk contrary unto me : * Then will I also walk contrary unto you , and I also will punish you , sevenfold for your sins . * And I will bring over you the sword , avenging the quarrel of my covenant , so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities ; and then will I send the pestilence among you , that ye shall deliver yourselves into the hand of the enemy ; * When I break unto you the staff of bread ; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven , and they shall deliver your bread again by weight ; and ye shall eat , and not be satisfied . * And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me , but walk contrary unto me : * Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury ; and I , even I , will chastise you , sevenfold 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 sun –images , and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols ; and my soul shall loath you . * And I will render your cities a waste , and I will make desolate your sanctuaries , and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors . * And I will surely make desolate the land : and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it . * And you will I scatter among the nations , and I will draw out after you the sword ; and your land shall be a desolate wild , and your cities shall be a waste . * Then shall the land satisfy its sabbaths , all the days of its desolation , when ye are in the land of your enemies : then shall the land rest , and satisfy its sabbaths . * All the days of its desolation shall it rest , the time which it did not rest in your sabbaths , when ye dwelt upon it . * And regarding those that are left of you , I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them ; and they shall flee , as fleeing from the sword ; and they shall fall with none pursuing . * And they shall stumble one over the other , as before the sword , without one pursuing : and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies . * And ye shall be lost among the nations , and the land of your enemies shall consume you . * And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies ; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them . * And they shall then confess their iniquity , and the iniquity of their fathers , through their trespass which they trespassed against me , and also that they had walked contrary unto me : * I also had to walk contrary unto them , and to bring them into the land of their enemies ; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled , and then shall they satisfy their iniquity . * And I will then remember my covenant with Jacob , and also my covenant with Isaac , and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember ; and the land will I remember . * For the land shall be forsaken by them , and shall satisfy its sabbaths , while it lieth desolate without them , and they shall satisfy their iniquity ; because , even because my ordinances they despised , and my statutes their soul loathed . * And yet for all that , though they be in the land of their enemies , will I not cast them away , neither will I loath them , to destroy them utterly , to break my covenant with them ; for I am the Lord their God . * But I will remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors , whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations , that I might be unto them a God : I am the Lord . * These are the statutes and ordinances and laws , which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai , by the hand of Moses .
