| Chapter
26 |
| 1 | Ye
shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image,
neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it:
for I am the LORD your God. |
| 2 |
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. |
| 3 | If ye walk in my statutes,
and keep my commandments, and do them; |
| 4 | Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land
shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their
fruit. |
| 5 | And your
threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the
sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land
safely. |
| 6 | And I will give
peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I
will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your
land. |
| 7 | And ye shall
chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. |
| 8 | And five of you shall chase an
hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your
enemies shall fall before you by the sword. |
| 9 | For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful,
and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. |
| 10 | And ye shall eat old store, and bring
forth the old because of the new. |
|
11 | And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor
you. |
| 12 |
And I will walk
among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
2 Cor 6:16
|
| 13 | I am the LORD your God, which brought
you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I
have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. |
| 14 | But if ye will not hearken unto me,
and will not do all these commandments; |
| 15 | And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul
abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye
break my covenant: |
| 16 | I
also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption,
and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart:
and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. |
| 17 | And I will set my face against
you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign
over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. |
|
18 | And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto
me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. |
| 19 | And I will break the pride of your
power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: |
| 20 | And your strength shall be
spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the
trees of the land yield their fruits. |
| 21 | And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken
unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your
sins. |
| 22 | I will also
send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy
your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be
desolate. |
| 23 | And if ye
will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; |
| 24 | Then will I also walk
contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. |
| 25 | And I will bring a sword upon
you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered
together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall
be delivered into the hand of the enemy. |
| 26 | And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten
women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread
again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. |
| 27 | And if ye will not for all this
hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; |
| 28 | Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I,
even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. |
| 29 | And ye shall eat the flesh of your
sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. |
|
30 | And I will destroy your high places, and cut down
your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you. |
| 31 |
And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation,
and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. |
|
32 | And I will bring the land into desolation: and
your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. |
| 33 | And I will scatter you among the
heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate,
and your cities waste. |
| 34 |
Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and
ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her
sabbaths. |
| 35 | As long as
it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when
ye dwelt upon it. |
| 36 | And
upon them that are left alive of you 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
pursueth. |
| 37 | And they
shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and
ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. |
| 38 | And ye shall perish among the heathen,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. |
|
39 | And they that are left of you shall pine away in
their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their
fathers shall they pine away with them. |
| 40 | If 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 unto me; |
| 41 | And that I also have walked contrary unto 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: |
| 42 | Then 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. |
| 43 | The land also shall be left of
them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth 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. |
| 44 | And 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. |
| 45
| But 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. |
|
46 | These 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. |
