Leviticus 26:1-15 ▼

1 ‘You shall not make idols for yourselves, nor shall you erect an image, a sacred pillar or an obelisk, nor shall you place any figured stone in your land so that you may bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

2 You shall keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3 If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and [obediently] do them,

4 then I will give you rain in its season, and the land will yield her produce and the trees of the field bear their fruit.

5 And your threshing season will last until grape gathering and the grape gathering [time] will last until planting, and you will eat your bread and be filled and live securely in your land.

6 I will also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down and there will be no one to make you afraid. I will also eliminate harmful animals from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.

7 And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword.

8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will put ten thousand to flight; your enemies will fall before you by the sword.

9 For I will turn toward you [with favor and regard] and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish and confirm My covenant with you.

10 You will eat the old supply of [abundant] produce, and clear out the old [to make room] for the new.

11 I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject nor separate itself from you.

12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves; and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright [with heads held high as free men].

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me and do not [obediently] do all these commandments,

15 if, instead, you reject My statutes, and if your soul rejects My ordinances, so that you will not [obediently] do all My commandments, and in this way break My covenant,
