[1] You shall make you no idols, neither shall you rear you up an engraved
image, or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land,
to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your God. [2] You shall keep my
Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yahweh. [3] If you walk in my
statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; [4] then I will give your
rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees
of the field shall yield their fruit. [5] Your threshing shall reach to the
vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat
your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. [6] I will give
peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid:
and I will cause evil animals to cease out of the land, neither shall the
sword go through your land. [7] You shall chase your enemies, and they
shall fall before you by the sword. [8] Five of you shall chase a hundred,
and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall
before you by the sword. [9] I will have respect to you, and make you
fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you. [10]
You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall bring forth the old
because of the new. [11] I will set my tent among you: and my soul won`t
abhor you. [12] I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall
be my people. [13] I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the
land of Egypt, that you should not be their bondservants; and I have broken
the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright. [14] But if you will not
listen to me, and will not do all these commandments; [15] and if you shall
reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor my ordinances, so that you will
not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; [16] I also will do this
to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that
shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you shall sow
your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. [17] I will set my face
against you, and you shall be struck before your enemies: those who hate
you shall rule over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you. [18] If
you will not yet for these things listen to me, then I will chastise you
seven times more for your sins. [19] I will break the pride of your power:
and I will make your sky as iron, and your earth as brass; [20] and your
strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its
increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit. [21] If
you walk contrary to me, and won`t listen to me, I will bring seven times
more plagues on you according to your sins. [22] I will send the animal of
the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your
cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.
[23] If by these things you won`t be reformed to me, but will walk contrary
to me; [24] then will I also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you,
even I, seven times for your sins. [25] I will bring a sword on you, that
shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you shall be gathered
together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and
you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. [26] When I break your
staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall
deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be
satisfied. [27] If you won`t for all this listen to me, but walk contrary
to me; [28] then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will
chastise you seven times for your sins. [29] You shall eat the flesh of
your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat. [30] I will
destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead
bodies on the bodies of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you. [31] I
will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to
desolation, and I won`t smell the savor of your sweet odors. [32] I will
bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall
be astonished at it. [33] You will I scatter among the nations, and I will
draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your
cities shall be a waste. [34] Then shall the land enjoy its Sabbaths, as
long as it lies desolate, and you are in your enemies` land; even then
shall the land rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. [35] As long as it lies
desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn`t have in your
Sabbaths, when you lived on it. [36] As for those who are left of you, I
will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and
the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one
flees from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursues. [37] They
shall stumble one on another, as it were before the sword, when none
pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. [38] You
shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you
up. [39] Those who 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] They shall confess their iniquity, and the
iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against
me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me, [41] I also walked
contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then
their uncircumcised heart 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 by them, and shall enjoy its Sabbaths, while it lies desolate without
them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because,
even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my
statutes. [44] Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their
enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them
utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh 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 nations,
that I might be their God: I am Yahweh. [46] These are the statutes and
ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of
Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
