Leviticus 26

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

“You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.

32
English · Berean Standard Bible

And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.

33
English · Berean Standard Bible

But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.

34
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35
English · Berean Standard Bible

As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.

36
English · Berean Standard Bible

As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.

37
English · Berean Standard Bible

They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.

38
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

39
English · Berean Standard Bible

Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.

40
English · Berean Standard Bible

But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—

41
English · Berean Standard Bible

and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,

42
English · Berean Standard Bible

then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

43
English · Berean Standard Bible

For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.

44
English · Berean Standard Bible

Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

45
English · Berean Standard Bible

But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”

46
English · Berean Standard Bible

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
