Leviticus 26:14-39
Punishments for Disobedience

14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

14:

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:

15:

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.

16:

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.

17:

18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

18:

19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

19:

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.

20:

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.

21:

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.

22:

23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

23:

24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

24:

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.

25:

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.

26:

27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

27:

28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

28:

29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

29:

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.

30:

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.

31:

32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

32:

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.

33:

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.

34:

35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

35:

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.

36:

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.

37:

38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

38:

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.

39:
