* "'You shall make for yourselves no idols , neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar , neither shall you place any figured stone in your land , to bow down to it : for I am Yahweh your God . * "'You shall keep my Sabbaths , and have reverence for my sanctuary . I am Yahweh . * "'If you walk in my statutes , and keep my commandments , and do them ; * then I will give you your rains in their season , and the land shall yield its increase , and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit . * Your threshing shall reach to the vintage , and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time ; and you shall eat your bread to the full , and dwell in your land safely . * "'I will give peace in the land , and you shall lie down , and no one will make you afraid ; and I will remove evil animals out of the land , neither shall the sword go through your land . * You shall chase your enemies , and they shall fall before you by the sword . * 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 . * "'I will have respect for you , and make you fruitful , and multiply you , and will establish my covenant with you . * You shall eat old store long kept , and you shall move out the old because of the new . * I will set my tent among you : and my soul won 't abhor you . * I will walk among you , and will be your God , and you will be my people . * 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 . * "'But if you will not listen to me , and will not do all these commandments ; * and if you shall reject my statutes , and if your soul abhors my ordinances , so that you will not do all my commandments , but break my covenant ; * I 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 ; and you will sow your seed in vain , for your enemies will eat it . * 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 no one pursues you . * "'If you in spite of these things will not listen to me , then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins . * I will break the pride of your power , and I will make your sky like iron , and your soil like brass ; * and your strength will be spent in vain ; for your land won 't yield its increase , neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit . * "'If you walk contrary to me , and won 't listen to me , then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins . * I will send the wild animals among you , which will rob you of your children , destroy your livestock , and make you few in number ; and your roads will become desolate . * "'If by these things you won 't be reformed to me , but will walk contrary to me ; * then I will also walk contrary to you ; and I will strike you , even I , seven times for your sins . * I will bring a sword upon you , that will execute the vengeance of the covenant ; and you will be gathered together within your cities : and I will send the pestilence among you ; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy . * When I break your staff of bread , ten women shall bake your bread in one oven , and they shall deliver your bread again by weight : and you shall eat , and not be satisfied . * "'If you in spite of this won 't listen to me , but walk contrary to me ; * then I will walk contrary to you in wrath ; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins . * You will eat the flesh of your sons , and you will eat the flesh of your daughters . * I will destroy your high places , and cut down your incense altars , and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols ; and my soul will abhor you . * I will lay your cities waste , and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation , and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings . * I will bring the land into desolation ; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it . * I will scatter you among the nations , and I will draw out the sword after you : and your land will be a desolation , and your cities shall be a waste . * Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies ' land . Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths . * As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest , even the rest which it didn 't have in your sabbaths , when you lived on it . * "'As for those of you who are left , I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies : and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight ; and they shall flee , as one flees from the sword ; and they will fall when no one pursues . * They will stumble over one another , as it were before the sword , when no one pursues : and you will have no power to stand before your enemies . * You will perish among the nations , and the land of your enemies will eat you up . * Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies ' lands ; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them . * "'If they 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 , * 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 the punishment of their iniquity ; * then I will remember my covenant with Jacob ; and also my covenant with Isaac , and also my covenant with Abraham ; and I will remember the land . * The land also will be left by them , and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them : and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity ; because , even because they rejected my ordinances , and their soul abhorred my statutes . * 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 utterly , and to break my covenant with them ; for I am Yahweh their God ; * but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors , whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations , that I might be their God . I am Yahweh .'" * These are the statutes , ordinances and laws , which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses .
