* "
You shall not make idols for yourselves ;
neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves ;
nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land ,
to bow down to it ;
for I am the LORD your God .
*
You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary :
I am the LORD .
* "
If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments ,
and perform them ,
*
then I will give you rain in its season ,
the land shall yield its produce ,
and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit .
*
Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage ,
and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing ;
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 none will make you afraid ;
I will rid the land of evil beasts ,
and the sword will not go through your land .
*
You will chase your enemies ,
and they shall fall by the sword before you .
*
Five of you shall chase a hundred ,
and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight ;
your enemies shall fall by the sword before you .
* "
For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful ,
multiply you and confirm My covenant with you .
*
You shall eat the old harvest ,
and clear out the old because of the new .
*
I will set My tabernacle among you ,
and My soul shall not abhor you .
*
I will walk among you and be your God ,
and you shall be My people .
*
I am the LORD your God ,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt ,
that you should not be their slaves ;
I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright .
* "
But if you do not obey Me ,
and do not observe all these commandments ,
*
and if you despise My statutes ,
or if your soul abhors My judgments ,
so that you do not perform all My commandments ,
but break My covenant ,
*
I also will do this to you :
I will even appoint terror over you ,
wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart .
And you shall sow your seed in vain ,
for your enemies shall eat it .
*
I will set My face against you ,
and you shall be defeated by your enemies .
1 Those who hate you shall reign over you ,
and you shall flee when no one pursues you .
* "
And after all this ,
if you do not obey Me ,
then I will punish you seven times more for your sins .
*
I will break the pride of your power ;
I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze .
*
And your strength shall be spent in vain ;
for your land shall not yield its produce ,
nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit .
* "
Then ,
if you walk contrary to Me ,
and are not willing to obey Me ,
I will bring on you seven times more plagues ,
according to your sins .
*
I will also send wild beasts among you ,
which shall rob you of your children ,
destroy your livestock ,
and make you few in number ;
and your highways shall be desolate .
* "
And if by these things you are not reformed by Me ,
but walk contrary to Me ,
*
then I also will walk contrary to you ,
and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins .
*
And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant ;
when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you ;
and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy .
*
When I have cut off your supply of bread ,
ten women shall bake your bread in one oven ,
and they shall bring back your bread by weight ,
and you shall eat and not be satisfied .
* "
And after all this ,
if you do not obey Me ,
but walk contrary to Me ,
*
then I also will walk contrary to you in fury ;
and I ,
even I ,
will chastise you seven times for your sins .
*
You shall eat the flesh of your sons ,
and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters .
*
I will destroy your high places ,
cut down your incense altars ,
and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols ;
and My soul shall abhor you .
*
I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation ,
and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas .
*
I will bring the land to desolation ,
and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it .
*
I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you ;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste .
*
Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies '
land ;
then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths .
*
As long as it lies desolate it shall rest --
for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it .
* "
And as for those of you who are left ,
I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ;
the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee ;
they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword ,
and they shall fall when no one pursues .
*
They shall stumble over one another ,
as it were before a sword ,
when no one pursues ;
and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies .
*
You shall perish among the nations ,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up .
*
And those of you who are left shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies '
lands ;
also in their fathers '
iniquities ,
which are with them ,
they shall waste away .
* "
But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers ,
with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me ,
and that they also have walked contrary to Me ,
*
and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies ;
if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled ,
and they accept their guilt --
*
then I will remember My covenant with Jacob ,
and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember ;
I will remember the land .
*
The land also shall be left empty by them ,
and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them ;
they will accept their guilt ,
because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes .
*
Yet for all that ,
when they are in the land of their enemies ,
I will not cast them away ,
nor shall I abhor them ,
to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them ;
for I am the LORD their God .
*
But for their sake I will 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 the LORD ."'

These are the statutes and judgments and laws which the LORD made between Himself and the children of Israel on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses .
