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. |
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. |
