Leviticus 26:1-20 ▼

1 “You do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.

2 You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.

3 If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,

4 then I have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its fruit;

5 and the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

6 And I have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.

7 And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;

8 and five of you have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

9 And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

10 and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.

11 And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;

12 and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become My people;

13 I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke and cause you to go erect.

14 And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,

15 and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking My covenant—

16 I also do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten it;

17 and I have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing you.

18 And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;

19 and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;

20 and your strength has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.
