Leviticus 26:11-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. I will set my tabernacle in your midst, and my soul will not cast you out.

12. I will walk among you, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people.

13. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of the Egyptians, lest you serve them, and who broke the chains around your necks, so that you would walk upright.

14. But if you will not listen to me, nor accomplish all of my commandments,

15. if you despise my laws, and disdain my judgments, so that you do not accomplish those things which have been established by me, and so that you lead my covenant away into nullification,

16. then I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with destitution, and burning heat, which will waste away your eyes, and consume your lives. In vain will you sow your seed, which will be devoured by your enemies.

17. I will set my face against you, and you will fall down before your enemies, and you will be subjugated to those who hate you. You will flee, though no one pursues.

18. But if you will not be obedient to me in this way, then I will add sevenfold to your chastisement, because of your sins.

19. And I will crush the pride in your hardness, and I will give to you heaven above like iron, and the earth below like brass.

20. Your labor will be consumed to no purpose; the land will not bring forth seedlings, nor will the trees provide their fruit.

21. If you walk as an adversary to me, and if you are not willing to listen to me, I will add sevenfold to your plagues, because of your sins.

22. And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the field, which will consume you and your cattle, and which will reduce everything to paucity, and cause your roadways to become desolate.
