| 14 | But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments, | “But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments, | “’But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, | |
| 15 | If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant: | if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant, | and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant, | |
| 16 | I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies. | then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. | then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength.

| 21 | If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins: | “Then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me, I will continue striking you, sevenfold for your sins. | “’If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve. | |

| 25 | And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies, | And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. | And I will bring the sword on you to avenge the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be given into enemy hands. | |

You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. | And I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and cast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. | I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless forms of your idols, and I will abhor you. | |
| 31 | Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours. | And I will lay your cities waste and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your pleasing aromas. | I will turn your cities into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings. | |
| 32 | And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof. | And I myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be appalled at it. | I myself will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who live there will be appalled. | |
| 33 | And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed. | And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. | I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins. | |
| 34 | Then shell the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be | “Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. | Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. | |
| 35 | In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein. | As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it. | All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it. | |
| 36 | And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them, | 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 driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. | “’As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them. | |
| 37 | And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies. | They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. | They will stumble over one another as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies. | |
| 38 | You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy's land shall consume you. | And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. | You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you. | |
| 39 | And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own: | And those of you who are left shall rot away in your enemies’ lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them. | Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’ sins they will waste away. | |
| 40 | Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me. | “But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, | “’But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, | |
| 41 | Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies' land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins. | so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, | which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin, | |
| 42 | And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land: | then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. | I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. | |
| 43 | Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws. | But the land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. | For the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected my laws and abhorred my decrees. | |
| 44 | And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God. | Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and break my covenant with them, for I am the LORD their God. | Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely, breaking my covenant with them. I am the LORD their God. | |
| 45 | And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. | But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, 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.” | But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the LORD.’” | |
| 46 | These are the statutes and rules and laws that the LORD made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses on Mount Sinai. | These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the LORD established at Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses. | ||
