1 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.
2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and
keep my commandments, and do them;
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies,
and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 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.
9 For I will have respect unto you,
and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with
you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and
bring forth the old because of the new.
11 And I will set my tabernacle
among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and
will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13 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.
14 But if ye will not
hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 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:
16 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.
17 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.
18 And if ye will not yet for all
this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your
sins.
19 And I will break the pride of
your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 And if ye will not be reformed by
me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
24 Then will I also walk contrary
unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25 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.
26 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.
27 And if ye will not for all this
hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28 Then I will walk contrary unto
you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your
sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of
your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30 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.
31 And I will make your cities
waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell
the savour of your sweet odours.
32 And I will bring the land into
desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at
it.
33 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.
34 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.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it
shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon
it.
36 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.
37 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.
38 And ye shall perish among the
heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 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.
40 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;
41 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:
42 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.
43 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.
44 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.
45 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.
46 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.
