| 1 ¶ Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing1 image, neither shall ye set up any image of2 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 rid3 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 will 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 over4 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 contrary5 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 carcases upon the carcases 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 savour of your sweet odours.
|
|
| 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 shaken6 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.
