003:026:001
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image,
neither rear you up a standing image,
neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land,
to bow down unto it:
for I am the LORD your God.

003:026:002
Ye shall keep my sabbaths,
and reverence my sanctuary:
I am the LORD.

003:026:003
If ye walk in my statutes,
and keep my commandments,
and do them;

003:026:004
Then I will give you rain in due season,
and the land shall yield her increase,
and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

003:026:005
And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage,
and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time:
and ye shall eat your bread to the full,
and dwell in your land safely.

003:026:006
And I will give peace in the land,
and ye shall lie down,
and none shall make you afraid:
and I will rid evil beasts out of the land,
neither shall the sword go through your land.

003:026:007
And ye shall chase your enemies,
and they shall fall before you by the sword.

003:026:008
And five of you shall chase an hundred,
and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight:
and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

003:026:009
For I will have respect unto you,
and make you fruitful,
and multiply you,
and establish my covenant with you.

003:026:010
And ye shall eat old store,
and bring forth the old because of the new.

003:026:011
And I set my tabernacle among you:
and my soul shall not abhor you.

003:026:012
And I will walk among you,
and will be your God,
and ye shall be my people.

003:026:013
I am the LORD your God,
which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt,
that ye should not be their bondmen;
and I have broken the bands of your yoke,
and made you go upright.

003:026:014
But if ye will not hearken unto me,
and will not do all these commandments;

003:026:015
And if ye shall despise my statutes,
or if your soul abhor my judgments,
so that ye will not do all my commandments,
but that ye break my covenant:

003:026:016
I also will do this unto you;
I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption,
and the burning ague,
that shall consume the eyes,
and cause sorrow of heart:
and ye shall sow your seed in vain,
for your enemies shall eat it.

003:026:017
And I will set my face against you,
and ye shall be slain before your enemies:
they that hate you shall reign over you;
and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

003:026:018
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me,
then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

003:026:019
And I will break the pride of your power;
and I will make your heaven as iron,
and your earth as brass:

003:026:020
And your strength shall be spent in vain:
for your land shall not yield her increase,
neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

003:026:021
And if ye walk contrary unto me,
and will not hearken unto me;
I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

003:026:022
I will also send wild beasts among you,
which shall rob you of your children,
and destroy your cattle,
and make you few in number;
and your high ways shall be desolate.

003:026:023
And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things,
but will walk contrary unto me;

003:026:024
Then will I also walk contrary unto you,
and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

003:026:025
And I will bring a sword upon you,
that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant:
and when ye are gathered together within your cities,
I will send the pestilence among you;
and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

003:026:026
And when I have broken the staff of your bread,
ten women shall bake your bread in one oven,
and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight:
and ye shall eat,
and not be satisfied.

003:026:027
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me,
but walk contrary unto me;

003:026:028
Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury;
and I,
even I,
will chastise you seven times for your sins.

003:026:029
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons,
and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

003:026:030
And I will destroy your high places,
and cut down your images,
and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols,
and my soul shall abhor you.

003:026:031
And I will make your cities waste,
and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation,
and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

003:026:032
And I will bring the land into desolation:
and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

003:026:033
And I will scatter you among the heathen,
and will draw out a sword after you:
and your land shall be desolate,
and your cities waste.

003:026:034
Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths,
as long as it lieth desolate,
and ye be in your enemies' land;
even then shall the land rest,
and enjoy her sabbaths.

003:026:035
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest;
because it did not rest in your sabbaths,
when ye dwelt upon it.

003:026:036
And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;
and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them;
and they shall flee,
as fleeing from a sword;
and they shall fall when none pursueth.

003:026:037
And they shall fall one upon another,
as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth:
and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

003:026:038
And ye shall perish among the heathen,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

003:026:039
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands;
and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

003:026:040
If they shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their fathers,
with their trespass which they trespassed against me,
and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

003:026:041
And that I also have walked contrary unto them,
and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled,
and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

003:026:042
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob,
and also my covenant with Isaac,
and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember;
and I will remember the land.

003:026:043
The land also shall be left of them,
and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them:
and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
because,
even because they despised my judgments,
and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

003:026:044
And yet for all that,
when they be in the land of their enemies,
I will not cast them away,
neither will I abhor them,
to destroy them utterly,
and to break my covenant with them:
for I am the LORD their God.

003:026:045
But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen,
that I might be their God:
I am the LORD.

003:026:046
These are the statutes and judgments and laws,
which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
