1You shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither raise you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.Select Leviticus 26:1

2You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. ¶Select Leviticus 26:2

3If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;Select Leviticus 26:3

4Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.Select Leviticus 26:4

5And 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.Select Leviticus 26:5

6And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.Select Leviticus 26:6

7And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.Select Leviticus 26:7

8And 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 by the sword.Select Leviticus 26:8

9For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.Select Leviticus 26:9

13I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. ¶Select Leviticus 26:13

14But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;Select Leviticus 26:14

15And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant:Select Leviticus 26:15

16I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.Select Leviticus 26:16

17And I will set my face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you.Select Leviticus 26:17

18And if you will not yet for all this listen to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.Select Leviticus 26:18

19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:Select Leviticus 26:19

20And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. ¶Select Leviticus 26:20

21And if you walk contrary to me, and will not listen to me; I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.Select Leviticus 26:21

22I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.Select Leviticus 26:22

23And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me;Select Leviticus 26:23

24Then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.Select Leviticus 26:24

25And I will bring a sword on you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.Select Leviticus 26:25

26And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.Select Leviticus 26:26

27And if you will not for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me;Select Leviticus 26:27

28Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.Select Leviticus 26:28

29And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.Select Leviticus 26:29

30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.Select Leviticus 26:30

31And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the smell of your sweet odors.Select Leviticus 26:31

32And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.Select Leviticus 26:32

33And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.Select Leviticus 26:33

34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.Select Leviticus 26:34

35As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on it.Select Leviticus 26:35

36And on them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.Select Leviticus 26:36

37And they shall fall one on another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.Select Leviticus 26:37

38And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.Select Leviticus 26:38

39And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.Select Leviticus 26:39

40If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me;Select Leviticus 26:40

41And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:Select Leviticus 26:41

42Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.Select Leviticus 26:42

43The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.Select Leviticus 26:43

44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.Select Leviticus 26:44

45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.Select Leviticus 26:45

46These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.Select Leviticus 26:46
