Leviticus 26

EvanBible Edition – English from the Originals

1 "Do not make idols for yourselves, and do not set up for yourselves a carved image or a sacred pillar; do not put a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

2 Keep my Sabbaths and revere my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3 "If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments and do them,

4 I will give your rains at their proper time; the land will give its yield, and the trees of the field will give their fruit.

5 Your threshing will reach to the vintage, and the vintage will reach to the sowing; you will eat your bread to the full and live securely in your land.

6 I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down with no one to make you afraid. I will rid the land of evil beasts, and no sword will pass through your land.

7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.

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

9 I will turn toward you, make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will uphold my covenant with you.

10 You will eat old grain long stored, and you will bring out the old to make room for the new.

11 I will set my dwelling in your midst, and my soul will not loathe you.

12 I will walk about among you and be your God, and you will be my people.

13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be their slaves; I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

14 "But if you do not listen to me and do not carry out all these commandments,

15 if you spurn my statutes and your soul loathes my judgments, so that you do not carry out all my commandments, and you break my covenant,

16 then I in my turn will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease and fever that dim the eyes and drain away the life. You will sow your seed for nothing, for your enemies will eat it.

17 I will set my face against you, and you will be beaten down before your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.

18 And if even after this you do not listen to me, I will discipline you seven times more for your sins.

19 I will break the pride of your strength; I will make your sky like iron and your ground like bronze.

20 Your strength will be used up for nothing, for your land will not give its yield, and the trees of the land will not give their fruit.

21 "If you walk in opposition to me and are unwilling to listen to me, I will add to your blows seven times over, as your sins deserve.

22 I will let loose among you the wild beasts, and they will bereave you of your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you few, so that your roads become desolate.

23 "And if through these things you are not corrected by me but walk in opposition to me,

24 then I too will walk in opposition to you, and I myself will strike you seven times over for your sins.

25 I will bring upon you a sword that avenges the covenant; and when you gather into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you will be handed over to the enemy.

26 When I break the staff of your bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven and dole out your bread by weight; you will eat but not be satisfied.

27 "And if in spite of this you do not listen to me, but walk in opposition to me,

28 I will walk in opposition to you with fury, and I myself will discipline you seven times over for your sins.

29 You will eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.

30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your corpses on the corpses of your idols; and my soul will loathe you.

31 I will turn your cities into ruins and make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not breathe in your pleasing aroma.

32 I myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it will be astonished at it.

33 You I will scatter among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you; your land will become a desolation and your cities a ruin.

34 "Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35 All the days it lies desolate it will rest—the rest it did not have in your Sabbaths while you lived on it.

36 As for those of you who survive, I will bring timidity into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a windblown leaf will chase them, and they will flee as one flees from the sword, and fall though no one pursues.

37 They will stumble over one another as though fleeing the sword, though no one pursues; you will have no power to stand up before your enemies.

38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will devour you.

39 Those of you who survive will rot away for their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and for the iniquities of their fathers too they will rot away with them.

40 "But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in the unfaithfulness they committed against me, and also that they walked in opposition to me—

41 so that I in turn walked in opposition to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they accept the punishment for their iniquity,

42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; my covenant with Isaac too, and my covenant with Abraham too, I will remember; and I will remember the land.

43 For the land will be left behind by them and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they will accept the punishment for their iniquity, precisely because they spurned my judgments and their soul loathed my statutes.

44 Yet even so, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn them or loathe them so as to make an end of them and break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

45 For their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God. I am the LORD."

46 These are the statutes, the judgments, and the laws that the LORD set between himself and the children of Israel on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
