Leviticus - Chapter 26
3 If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My
commandments, and do them; 4 then I will give your rains in their season,
and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall
yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage,
and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your
bread until ye have enough, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will
give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you
afraid; and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither
shall the sword go through your land. 7 And ye shall chase your enemies,
and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 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. 9 And I will have respect unto you,
and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish My covenant
with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring
forth the old from before the new. 11 And I will set My tabernacle among
you, and My soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and
will be your God, and ye shall be My people. 13 I am the LORD your God,
who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be
their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go
upright.
14 But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances,
so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant; 16
I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption
and fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish;
and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17
And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your
enemies; they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when
none pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for these things hearken
unto Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for 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;
for your land shall not yield her produce, neither shall the trees of
the land yield their fruit.
42 then 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. 43 For the land shall lie forsaken without them, and shall be
paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall
be paid the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected
Mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred My statutes. 44 And 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 the LORD their God. 45 But 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 nations, that I might be their God:
I am the LORD. 46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which
the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by
the hand of Moses.
