Leviticus 26:14-39
14‘1But ifH518 you do not obeyH8085 Me and do not carryH6213 out allH3605 theseH428 commandmentsH4687, 15ifH518, instead, you 2rejectH3988 My statutesH2708, and ifH518 your soulH5315 abhorsH1602 My ordinancesH4941 so as not to carryH6213 out allH3605 My commandmentsH4687, and so 3breakH6565 My covenantH1285, 16I, in turnH637, will doH6213 thisH2088 to you: I will appointH6485 overH5921 you a 4suddenH928 terrorH928, consumptionH7829 and feverH6920 that will wasteH3615 awayH3615 the eyesH5869 and cause the 5soulH5315 to pineH1727 awayH1727; also, 6you will sowH2232 your seedH2233 uselesslyH7385, for your enemiesH340 will eatH398 it up. 17I will setH5414 My faceH6440 against you so that you will be struckH5062 downH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340; and 7those who hateH8130 you will ruleH7287 over you, and 8you will fleeH5127 when noH369 oneH369 is pursuingH7291 you. 18IfH518 also afterH5704 theseH428 thingsH428 you do not obeyH8085 Me, then I will punishH3256 you 9sevenH7651 timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403. 19I will also 10breakH7665 downH7665 your prideH1347 of powerH5797; I will also makeH5414 your skyH8064 like ironH1270 and your earthH776 like bronzeH5154. 2011Your strengthH3581 will be spentH8552 uselesslyH7385, for your landH776 will not yieldH5414 its produceH2981 and the treesH6086 of the landH776 will not yieldH5414 their fruitH6529.
21‘IfH518 then, you 1213actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me and are unwillingH3808H14 to obeyH8085 Me, I will increaseH3254 the plagueH4347 on you 14sevenH7651 timesH7651 according to your sinsH2403. 2215I will letH7971 looseH7971 among you the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704, which will bereaveH7921 you of your childrenH7921 and destroyH3772 your cattleH929 and reduceH4591 your number so that 16your roadsH1870 lieH8074 desertedH8074.
23‘17And ifH518 by theseH428 thingsH428 you are not turnedH3256 to Me, but actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me, 24then I will 18actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 you; and I, evenH1571 I, will strikeH5221 you 19sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 25I will also bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 which will executeH5358 20vengeanceH5359 for the covenantH1285; and when you gatherH622 together into your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 21pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you, so that you shall be deliveredH5414 into enemyH340 handsH3027. 2622When I breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 will bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they will bringH7725 backH7725 your breadH3899 23in rationedH4948 amountsH4948, so that you will 24eatH398 and not be satisfiedH7646.
27‘Yet ifH518 in spite of thisH2088 you do not obeyH8085 Me, but actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me, 28then 25I will actH1980 with wrathfulH2534 hostilityH7147 againstH5973 you, and I, evenH637 I, will punishH3256 you sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 29Further, 26you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121 and the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323 you will eatH398. 30I then 27will destroyH8045 your highH1116 placesH1116, and cutH3772 downH3772 your 28incenseH2553 altarsH2553, and heapH5414 your 29remainsH6297 on the 30remainsH6297 of your idolsH1544, for My soulH5315 shall abhorH1602 you. 31I will 31layH5414 32wasteH2723 your citiesH5892 as well and will makeH8074 your 33sanctuariesH4720 desolateH8074, and I will not 34smellH7381 your soothingH5207 aromasH7381. 32I will makeH8074 35the landH776 desolateH8074 36so that your enemiesH340 who settleH3427 in it will be appalledH8074 overH5921 it. 33You, however, I 37will scatterH2219 among the nationsH1471 and will drawH7385 out a swordH2719 afterH310 you, as your landH776 becomesH1961 desolateH8077 and your citiesH5892 becomeH1961 wasteH2723.
34‘38ThenH227 the landH776 will 39enjoyH7521 its sabbathsH7676 allH3605 the daysH3117 of the desolationH8074, while you are in your enemies’H340 landH776; thenH227 the landH776 will restH7673 and 40enjoyH7521 its sabbathsH7676. 35AllH3605 the daysH3117 of its desolationH8074 it will observeH7673 the restH7673 whichH834 it did not observeH7673 on your sabbathsH7676, while you were livingH3427 on it. 36As for those of you who may be leftH7604, I will also bringH935 41weaknessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH340. And the soundH6963 of a drivenH5086 leafH5929 will chaseH7291 them, and even when noH369 one is pursuingH7291 they will fleeH5127 42as thoughH4499 from the swordH2719, and they will fallH5307. 3743They will therefore stumbleH3782 over eachH376 otherH251 as if running from the swordH2719, although noH369 oneH369 is pursuingH7291; and you will haveH1961 no strength 44to standH8617 up beforeH6440 your enemiesH340. 38But 45you will perishH6 among the nationsH1471, and your enemies’H340 landH776 will consumeH398 you. 3946So those of you who may be leftH7604 will rotH4743 awayH4743 because of their iniquityH5771 in the landsH776 of your enemiesH340; and alsoH637 because of the iniquitiesH5771 of their forefathersH1 they will rotH4743 awayH4743 with them.
