Leviticus Chapter 26

Leviticus Chapter 26
1 Ye shall make you none idols nor
graven image, neither rear you up any
pillar, neither shall ye set any image of
stone in your land to bow down to it: for
I am the Lord your God.
2 Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. 3
If ye walk in mine ordinances, and keep
my commandments, and do them, 4 I will
then send you rain in due season, and the
land shall yield her increase, and the
trees of the field shall give their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach unto the
vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto
sowing time, and you shall eat your
bread in plenteousness, and dwell in
your land safely.
6 And I will send peace in the land, and
ye shall sleep and none shall make you
afraid: also I will rid evil beasts out of
the land, and the sword shall not go
through your land.
7 Also ye shall chase your enemies, and
they shall fall before you upon the
sword.
8 And five of you shall chase an
hundred, and an hundred of you shall put
ten thousand to flight, and your enemies
shall fall before you upon the sword. 9
For I will have respect unto you, and
make you increase, and multiply you,
and establish my covenant with you.
10 Ye shall eat also old store, and carry
out old because of the new. 11 And I
will set my tabernacle among you, and
my soul shall not loathe you. 12 Also I
will walk among you, and I will be your
God, and ye shall be my people.
13 I am the Lord your God which have
brought you out of the land of Egypt, that
ye should not be their bondmen, and I
have broken the bonds of your yoke, and
made you go upright.
14 But if ye will not obey me, nor do all
these commandments,
15 And if ye shall despise mine
ordinances, either if your soul abhor my
laws, so that ye will not do all my
commandments, but break my covenant,
16 Then will I also do this unto you, I
will appoint over you fearfulness, a
consumption, and the burning ague to
consume the eyes, and make the heart
heavy, and you shall sow your seed in
vain: for your enemies shall eat it: 17
And I will set my face against you, and
ye shall fall before your enemies, and
they that hate you, shall reign over you,
and ye shall flee when none pursueth
you.
18 And if ye will not for these things
obey me, then will I punish you seven
times more, according to your sins,
19 And I will break the pride of your
power, and I will make your heaven as
iron, and your earth as brass:
20 And your strength shall be spent in
vain: neither shall your land give her
increase, neither shall the trees of the
land give their fruit. 21 And if ye walk
stubbornly against me, and will not obey
me, I will then bring seven times more
plagues upon you, according to your
sins.
22 I will also send wild beasts upon
you, which shall spoil you, and destroy
your cattle, and make you few in
number: so your highways shall be
desolate. 23 Yet if by these ye will not
be reformed by me, but walk stubbornly
against me,
24 Then will I also walk stubbornly
against you, and I will smite you yet
seven times for your sins:
25 And I will send a sword upon you,
that shall avenge the quarrel of my
covenant: and when ye are gathered in
your cities, I will send the pestilence
among you, and ye shall be delivered
into the hand of the enemy. 26 When I
shall break the staff of your bread, then
ten women shall bake your bread in one
oven, and they shall deliver your bread
again by weight, and ye shall eat, but not
be satisfied.
27 Yet if ye will not for this obey me,
but walk against me stubbornly, 28 Then
will I walk stubbornly in mine anger
against you, and I will also chastise you
seven times more according to your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your
sons, and the flesh of your daughters
shall ye devour.
30 I will also destroy your high places,
and cut away your images, and cast your
carcasses upon the bodies of your idols,
and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I
will make your cities desolate, and bring
your sanctuary unto naught, and will not
smell the savor of your sweet odors.
32 I will also bring the land unto a
wilderness, and your enemies, which
dwell therein, shall be astonished
thereat.
33 Also I will scatter you among the
heathen, and will draw out a sword after
you, and your land shall be waste, and
your cities shall be desolate. 34 Then
shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as
long as it lieth void, and ye shall be in
your enemies’ land: then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her Sabbaths.
35 All the days that it lieth void, it shall
rest, because it did not rest in your
Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left of you, I
will send even a faintness into their
hearts in the land of their enemies, and
the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase
them, and they shall flee as fleeing from
a sword, and they shall fall, no man
pursuing them.
37 They shall fall also one upon another,
as before a sword, though none pursue
them, and ye shall not be able to stand
before your enemies: 38 And ye shall
perish among the heathen, and the land of
your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they 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 also.
40 Then they shall confess their iniquity,
and the wickedness of their fathers for
their trespass, which they have
trespassed against me, and also because
they have walked stubbornly against me.
41 Therefore I will walk stubbornly
against them, and bring them into the
land of their enemies: so then their
uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled,
and then they shalt willingly bear the
punishment of their iniquity. 42 Then I
will remember my covenant with Jacob,
and my covenant also with Isaac, and
also my covenant with Abraham will I
remember, and will remember the land.
43 The land also in the mean season
shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her
Sabbaths while she lieth waste without
them, but they shall willingly suffer the
punishment of their iniquity because
they despised my laws, and because
their soul abhorred mine ordinances.
44 Yet notwithstanding this, when they
shall be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I
abhor them, to destroy them utterly , nor
to break my covenant with them: for I am
the Lord their God: 45 But I will
remember for them the covenant of old
when I brought them out of the land of
Egypt in the sight of the heathen that I
might be their God: I am the Lord.
46 These are the ordinances, and the
judgments, and the laws, which the Lord
made between him, and the children of
Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of
Moses.
