Promise of Blessing and Retribution

1Youp shall make youp no idols nor graven image, neither rear youp up a standing image, neither shall youp set up any image of stone in yourp land, to bow down to it: for I am the Lord yourp God.   raise

2Youp shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the Lord.

3If youp walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;

4Then I will give youp rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5And yourp threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and youp shall eat yourp bread to the full, and dwell in yourp land safely.   grape harvest

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

7And youp shall chase yourp enemies, and they shall fall before youp by the sword.

8And five of youp shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of youp shall put ten thousand to flight: and yourp enemies shall fall before youp by the sword.

9For I will have respect to youp, and make youp fruitful, and multiply youp, and establish My covenant with youp.   agreement

10And youp shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.   supply

11And I will set My tabernacle among youp: and My soul shall not abhor youp.

12And I will walk among youp, and will be yourp God, and youp shall be My people.   2 COR 6:12; 2 COR 6:16

13I am the Lord yourp God, which brought youp forth out of the land of Egypt, that youp should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of yourp yoke, and made youp go upright.   free

14But if youp will not hearken to Me, and will not do all these commandments;   listen

15And if youp shall despise My statutes, or if yourp soul abhor My judgments, so that youp will not do all My commandments, but that youp break My covenant:   rulings

16I also will do this to youp; I will even appoint over youp terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and youp shall sow yourp seed in vain, for yourp enemies shall eat it.   wasting diseases; fever

17And I will set my face against youp, and youp shall be slain before yourp enemies: they that hate youp shall reign over youp; and youp shall flee when none pursue youp.

18And if youp will not yet for all this hearken to Me, then I will punish youp seven times more for yourp sins.

19And I will break the pride of yourp power; and I will make yourp heaven as iron, and yourp earth as brass:

20And yourp strength shall be spent in vain: for yourp land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21And if youp walk contrary to Me, and will not hearken to Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon youp according to yourp sins.   REV 15:1

22I will also send wild beasts among youp, which shall rob youp of yourp children, and destroy yourp cattle, and make youp few in number; and yourp high ways shall be desolate.

23And if youp will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will walk contrary to Me;

24Then will I also walk contrary to youp, and will punish youp yet seven times for yourp sins.

25And I will bring a sword upon youp, that shall avenge the quarrel of My covenant: and when youp are gathered together inside yourp cities, I will send the pestilence among youp: and youp shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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

27And if youp will not for all this hearken to Me, but walk contrary to Me;

28Then I will walk contrary to youp also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise youp seven times for yourp sins.

29And youp shall eat the flesh of yourp sons, and the flesh of yourp daughters shall youp eat.

30And I will destroy yourp high places, and cut down yourp images, and cast yourp carcasses upon the carcasses of yourp idols, and My soul shall abhor youp.

31And I will make yourp cities waste, and bring yourp sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of yourp sweet odors.   aroma

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

33And I will scatter youp among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after youp: and yourp land shall be desolate, and yourp cities waste.

34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and youp be in yourp enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

35As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in yourp sabbaths, when youp dwelt upon it.

36And upon them that are left alive of youp 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.

37And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and youp shall have no power to stand before yourp enemies.

38And youp shall perish among the heathen, and the land of youp enemies shall eat youp up.

39And they that are left of youp shall pine away in their iniquity in yourp enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.   waste

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;   2 CHRON 7:14

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
