Chapter 26
14
And if you do not hear me and do not do all these commandments:
15
And if you reject my statutes and your nephesh abhors my judgments so as not to do all my commandments, to break my covenant.
16
Moreover, I will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, the consumption and the fever that consume eyes and cause soul-wasting. And you will sow your seed in vain, and your enemies will eat it.
17
And I will set my face against you, and you will be struck down before your enemies. Those hating you will rule over you, and you will flee with no one pursuing you.
18
And if you do not hear me after these things, then I will add to discipline you sevenfold for your sins.
19
And I will break the pride of your strength, and I will give your heavens as iron and your land as bronze.
20
And your strength will be spent for nothing, and your land will not give its yield, and the tree of the land will not give its fruit.
21
And if you walk with me in opposition and are not willing to hear me or obey me, then I will add to you sevenfold blows according to your sins.
22
And I will send wild animals of the field among you, and they will bereave you and cut off your livestock and diminish you, and your ways will be desolate.
23
And if by these you are not disciplined by me, and you walk with me in opposition.
24
And I will walk, even I, with you in hostility, and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.
25
And I will bring a sword upon you, vengeance of the vengeance-of-covenant, and you will be gathered to your cities, and I will send pestilence in your midst, and you will be given into the hand of an enemy.
26
In breaking for you the staff of bread, and ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will return your bread by weight, and you will eat and not be satisfied.
27
And if in this you do not listen to me, and you have walked with me in hostility.
28
And I will walk with you in fury of enmity, and I will discipline you; even I, I have been sevened over your sin offerings.
29
And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.
30
And I will destroy your high places, and I will cut off your solar idols, and I will give your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul will abhor you.
31
And I will make your cities a ruin, and I will destroy your sanctuaries, and I will not smell your soothing aromas.
32
And I will lay the land waste, and your enemies, the ones sitting in it, will be appalled at it.
33
And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword after you, and your land will become a desolation, and your cities will be wastes.
34
Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its desolation, while you are in the land of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
35
All the days of the desolation it shall rest, that which it did not rest in your Sabbaths when you were on it.
36
And those remaining among you, I will bring terror into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and they will pursue them at the sound of a driven leaf, and they will flee as in a flight from a sword, and they will fall when there is no pursuer.
37
And they shall stumble, one over his brother, as from the face of a sword, and there shall be no pursuing, and there shall not be for you an uprising before your enemies.
38
And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall devour you.
39
And those remaining among you will rot in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they will rot.
40
And they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their rebellion which they rebelled against me, and also in which they walked with me in opposition.
41
Even I will go with them in my fury and bring them to the land of their enemies; or then their uncircumcised heart will be humbled, and then they will make atonement for their iniquity.
42
And I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and even my covenant with Isaac, and even my covenant with Abraham I will remember, and I will remember the land.
43
And the land will be abandoned by them and will make satisfaction for its Sabbaths during their desolation by them, and they will make satisfaction for their iniquity because and inasmuch as in my judgments they rejected and my statutes their soul abhorred.
44
And even in this—in their being in the land of their enemies—I did not reject them and I did not abhor them to finish them off to break my covenant with them, for I am the LORD their God.
45
And I will remember for them the covenant of their first ancestors, which I brought them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, to be their God. I am the LORD.
46
These are the statutes and the judgments and the Torah that the LORD gave between him and the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
