Leviticus 26:14-41

14‘1But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments, 15if, instead, you 2reject My statutes, and if your soul abhors My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, and so 3break My covenant, 16I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a 4sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the 5soul to pine away; also, 6you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. 17I will set My face against you so that you will be struck down before your enemies; and 7those who hate you will rule over you, and 8you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you 9seven times more for your sins. 19I will also 10break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. 2011Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.

21‘If then, you 1213act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you 14seven times according to your sins. 2215I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that 16your roads lie deserted.

23‘17And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me, 24then I will 18act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you 19seven times for your sins. 25I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute 20vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send 21pestilence among you, so that you shall be delivered into enemy hands. 2622When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread 23in rationed amounts, so that you will 24eat and not be satisfied.

27‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me, 28then 25I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins. 29Further, 26you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat. 30I then 27will destroy your high places, and cut down your 28incense altars, and heap your 29remains on the 30remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you. 31I will 31lay 32waste your cities as well and will make your 33sanctuaries desolate, and I will not 34smell your soothing aromas. 32I will make 35the land desolate 36so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it. 33You, however, I 37will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.

34‘38Then the land will 39enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and 40enjoy its sabbaths. 35All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it. 36As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring 41weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee 42as though from the sword, and they will fall. 3743They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength 44to stand up before your enemies. 38But 45you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. 3946So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.

40‘47If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me-- 41I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies--48or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that 49they then make amends for their iniquity,
