Leviticus 26:8-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9. I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

10. You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

11. I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.

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

13. I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.

14. But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,

15. If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:

16. I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

17. I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.

18. But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,

19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:

20. Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.
