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.
02 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence
my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
03 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my
commandments, and do them;
04 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.
05 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.
06 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.
07 And ye shall chase your enemies, and
they shall fall before you by the sword.
08 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.
09 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 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.
