Leviticus 26:14-38
14‘1But ifH518 you do not obeyH8085 Me and do not carryH6213 outH6213 allH3605 theseH428 commandmentsH4687, 15ifH518, instead, you 2rejectH3988 My statutesH2708, and ifH518 your soulH5315 loathesH1602 My ordinancesH4941 so as not to carryH6213 outH6213 allH3605 My commandmentsH4687, but rather to 3breakH6565 My covenantH1285, 16I, inH637 turnH637, will doH6213 thisH2088 to you: I will 4summonH6485 a 5suddenH928 terrorH928 againstH5921 you, consumptionH7829 and feverH6920 that will makeH3615 the eyesH5869 failH3615 and the 6soulH5315 languishH1727; also, 7you will sowH2232 your seedH2233 uselesslyH7385, for your enemiesH340 will eatH398 it. 17And I will setH5414 My faceH6440 against you so that you will be defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340; and 8those who hateH8130 you will ruleH7287 over you, and 9you will fleeH5127 when noH369 oneH369 is pursuingH7291 you. 18IfH518 also afterH5704 theseH428 thingsH428 you do not obeyH8085 Me, then I will punishH3256 you 10sevenH7651 timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403. 19I will also 11breakH7665 downH7665 your prideH1347 of powerH5797; and I will makeH5414 your skyH8064 like ironH1270 and your earthH776 like bronzeH5154. 2012Your strengthH3581 will be consumedH8552 uselesslyH7385, for your landH776 will not yieldH5414 its produceH2981 and the treesH6086 of the landH776 will not yieldH5414 their fruitH6529.
21‘Yet ifH518 you 1314showH1980 hostilityH7147 towardH5973 Me and are unwillingH3808H14 to obeyH8085 Me, I will increaseH3254 the plagueH4347 on you 15sevenH7651 timesH7651 according to your sinsH2403. 2216I will also letH7971 looseH7971 among you the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704, which will depriveH7921 you ofH7921 your childrenH7921 and eliminateH3772 your cattleH929, and reduceH4591 your numberH4591 so that 17your roadsH1870 becomeH8074 desertedH8074.
23‘18And ifH518 by theseH428 thingsH428 you do not learnH3256 your lessonH3256 regarding Me, but you showH1980 hostilityH7147 towardH5973 Me, 24then I inH637 turnH637 will 19showH1980 hostilityH7147 towardH5973 you; and I, evenH1571 I, will strikeH5221 you 20sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 25I will also bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 which will executeH5358 21vengeanceH5359 for the covenantH1285; and when you gatherH622 together into your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 a 22plagueH1698 amongH8432 you, so that you will be handedH3027H5414 overH5414 to the enemyH340. 2623When I breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 will bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they will bringH7725 backH7725 your breadH3899 24in rationedH4948 amountsH4948, so that you will 25eatH398 and not beH7646 satisfiedH7646.
27‘Yet ifH518 in spite of thisH2088 you do not obeyH8085 Me, but actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me, 28then 26I will actH1980 with wrathfulH2534 hostilityH7147 againstH5973 you, and I for My partH637 will punishH3256 you sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 29Further, 27you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323. 30I then 28will destroyH8045 your highH1116 placesH1116, and cutH3772 downH3772 your 29incenseH2553 altarsH2553, and 30pileH5414 your 31remainsH6297 on the 32remainsH6297 of your idolsH1544, for My soulH5315 will loatheH1602 you. 31I will turnH5414 your citiesH5892 into 33ruinsH2723 as well and makeH8074 your 34sanctuariesH4720 desolateH8074, and I will not 35smellH7381 your soothingH5207 aromasH7381. 32And I will makeH8074 36the landH776 desolateH8074 37so that your enemiesH340 who settleH3427 in it will beH8074 appalledH8074 at it. 33You, however, I 38will scatterH2219 among the nationsH1471, and I will drawH7385 outH7385 a swordH2719 afterH310 you, as your landH776 becomesH1961 desolateH8077 and your citiesH5892 becomeH1961 ruinsH2723.
34‘39ThenH227 the landH776 will restoreH7521 its SabbathsH7676 allH3605 the daysH3117 of the desolationH8074, while you are in your enemies’H340 landH776; thenH227 the landH776 will restH7673 and restoreH7521 its SabbathsH7676. 35AllH3605 the daysH3117 of its desolationH8074 it will haveH7673 the restH7673 whichH834 it did not haveH7673 on your SabbathsH7676, while you were livingH3427 on it. 36As for those among you who are leftH7604, I will also bringH935 40despairH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH340. And the soundH6963 of a scatteredH5086 leafH5929 will chaseH7291 them, and even when noH369 one is pursuingH7291 they will fleeH5127 41asH4499 thoughH4499 from the swordH2719, and they will fallH5307. 3742They will then stumbleH3782 over eachH376 otherH251 as if running from the swordH2719, although noH369 oneH369 is pursuingH7291; and you will haveH1961 noH3808 strengthH8617 toH8617 standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340. 38Instead, 43you will perishH6 among the nationsH1471, and your enemies’H340 landH776 will consumeH398 you.
