Leviticus 26:1-8 ▼

1 |You are not to make worthless idols, images, or pillars for yourselves, nor set up for yourselves carved images to bow down to them in the land, because I am the LORD your God.

2 |You are to keep my Sabbath and fear my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3 |If you live by my statutes, obey my commands, and observe them,

4 then I'll send your rain in its season so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.

5 Threshing will extend to the time of vintage and the vintage will extend to the time of sowing, so that you'll eat your bread to your satisfaction and live securely in your land.

6 I'll give peace in the land so that you'll lie down without fear. I'll remove wild beasts from the land, and not even war will come to your land.

7 Instead, you'll pursue your enemies and they'll die by the sword before you.

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