Leviticus:26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Ye shall not make yourselves any idols ,
and a graven image ,
or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you ,
and any carved stone shall you not place in your land ,
to bow down upon it ;
for I am the Eternal your God .
*
My sabbaths shall ye keep ,
and my sanctuary shall ye reverence :
I am the Lord .
*
If in my statutes ye walk ,
and if my commandments ye keep ,
and do them :
*
Then will I give you rains in their due season ,
and the earth shall yield her products ,
and the tree of the field shall yield its fruit .
*
And the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage ,
and the vintage shall reach unto sowing
time ;
and ye shall eat your bread to the full ,
and ye shall dwell in safety in your land .
*
And I will give peace in the land ,
and ye shall lie down ,
with none to make you afraid ;
and I will remove evil beasts out of the land ,
and the sword shall not pass through your land .
*
And ye shall chase your enemies ,
and they shall fall before you by the sword .
*
And five 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 .
*
And I will turn myself unto you ,
and make you fruitful ,
and multiply you ;
and I will establish my covenant with you .
*
And ye shall eat very old store ,
and the old shall ye remove away because of the new .
*
And I will set my dwelling among you ;
and my soul shall not loath you .
*
And I will walk among you ,
and I will be to you a God ,
and ye shall be to me a people .
*
I am the Eternal your God ,
who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt ,
that ye should not be their bond
men ;
and I have broken the bands of your yoke ,
and caused you to walk upright .
*
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 .
