Leviticus 26:25-46

25I will also bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 which will executeH5358 1vengeanceH5359 for the covenantH1285; and when you gatherH622 together into your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 a 2plagueH1698 amongH8432 you, so that you will be handedH3027H5414 overH5414 to the enemyH340. 263When I breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 will bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they will bringH7725 backH7725 your breadH3899 4in rationedH4948 amountsH4948, so that you will 5eatH398 and not beH7646 satisfiedH7646.

27‘Yet ifH518 in spite of thisH2088 you do not obeyH8085 Me, but actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me, 28then 6I will actH1980 with wrathfulH2534 hostilityH7147 againstH5973 you, and I for My partH637 will punishH3256 you sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 29Further, 7you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323. 30I then 8will destroyH8045 your highH1116 placesH1116, and cutH3772 downH3772 your 9incenseH2553 altarsH2553, and 10pileH5414 your 11remainsH6297 on the 12remainsH6297 of your idolsH1544, for My soulH5315 will loatheH1602 you. 31I will turnH5414 your citiesH5892 into 13ruinsH2723 as well and makeH8074 your 14sanctuariesH4720 desolateH8074, and I will not 15smellH7381 your soothingH5207 aromasH7381. 32And I will makeH8074 16the landH776 desolateH8074 17so that your enemiesH340 who settleH3427 in it will beH8074 appalledH8074 at it. 33You, however, I 18will scatterH2219 among the nationsH1471, and I will drawH7385 outH7385 a swordH2719 afterH310 you, as your landH776 becomesH1961 desolateH8077 and your citiesH5892 becomeH1961 ruinsH2723.

34‘19ThenH227 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 20despairH4816 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 21asH4499 thoughH4499 from the swordH2719, and they will fallH5307. 3722They 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, 23you will perishH6 among the nationsH1471, and your enemies’H340 landH776 will consumeH398 you. 3924So those of you who may be leftH7604 will rotH4743 awayH4743 because of their wrongdoingH5771 in the landsH776 of your enemiesH340; and alsoH637 because of the wrongdoingH5771 of their forefathersH1 they will rotH4743 awayH4743 with them.

40‘But 25if they confessH3034 their wrongdoingH5771 and the wrongdoingH5771 of their forefathersH1, in their unfaithfulnessH4603 whichH834 they committedH4603 against Me, and alsoH637 in their actingH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me-- 41I alsoH637 was actingH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 them, to bringH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH340--26orH176 ifH227 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartH3824 is humbledH3665 so that 27they thenH227 makeH7521 amendsH7521 for their wrongdoingH5771, 42then I will rememberH2142 28My covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and I will rememberH2142 alsoH637 29My covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and 30My covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 as wellH637, and I will rememberH2142 the landH776. 4331For the landH776 will be abandonedH5800 by them, and will restoreH7521 its SabbathsH7676 while it is madeH8074 desolateH8074 withoutH4480 them. They, meanwhile, will be makingH7521 amendsH7521 for their wrongdoingH5771, 32becauseH3282 they rejectedH3988 My ordinancesH4941 and their 33soulH5315 loathedH1602 My statutesH2708. 44Yet in spiteH637H1571 of thisH2088, when they are in the landH776 of their enemiesH340, I will not rejectH3988 them, norH3808 will I so 34loatheH1602 them as 35to destroyH3615 them, 36breakingH6565 My covenantH1285 with them; for I am the LordH3068 their GodH430. 45But I will rememberH2142 for them the 37covenantH1285 with their ancestorsH7223, whomH834 I broughtH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, so that 38I might be their GodH430. I am the LordH3068.’”

4639TheseH428 are the statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 and lawsH8451 whichH834 the LordH3068 establishedH5414 betweenH996 Himself and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 40throughH3027 MosesH4872 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514.
