Leviticus 26 — Context

13

I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

14

But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

15

And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

16

This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

17

And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

18

And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

19

And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;
