26:1  You shall make no idols nor graven images, neither raise you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
26:2  You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
26:3  If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
26:4  Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
26:5  And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
26:6  And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
26:7  And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
26:8  And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9  For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
26:10  And you shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.
26:11  And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
26:12  And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
26:13  I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
26:14  But if you will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
26:15  And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhors my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant:
26:16  I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
26:17  And I will set my face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you.
26:18  And if you will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
26:19  And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze:
26:20  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 fruits.
26:21  And if you walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
26:22  I will also send wild animals among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate.
26:23  And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
26:24  Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
26:25  And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall bring the vengeance of my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26:26  And when I have broken the supply of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27  And if you will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
26:28  Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
26:29  And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.
26:30  And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
26:31  And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the aroma of your sweet odors.
26:32  And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
26:33  And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
26:34  Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.
26:35  As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it.
26:36  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 pursues.
26:37  And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
26:38  And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
26:39  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.
26:40  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;
26:41  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 the punishment of their iniquity:
26:42  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.
26:43  The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while it lies desolate without them: and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
26:44  And yet for all that, when they are 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.
26:45  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 the LORD.
26:46  These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between himself and the children of Israel on mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
