:9
“‘I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.
:13
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; 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 abhors 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 will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.
:17
I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.
:18
“‘If you in spite of these things will not 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 like iron, and your soil like brass;
:20
and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
:21
“‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.
:22
I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.
:23
“‘If by these things you won’t be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;
:24
then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.
:25
I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will 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.
:28
then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.
I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.
:31
I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.
:32
I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it.
:33
I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
:34
Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will 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 of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.
:37
They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.
:38
You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up.
:39
Those of you who are left will 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 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 is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;
:42
then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.
:43
The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept 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 sake 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, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
