Leviticus 26:8-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you shall pursue a myriad; and your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

9. And I will turn to you, and I will make you fruitful, and I will make you numerous; and I will keep my covenant with you.

10. And you shall eat old grain, and you shall clear away the old before the new.

11. And I will put my dwelling place in your midst, and my inner self shall not abhor you.

12. And I will walk about in your midst, and I shall be your God, and you shall be my people.

13. I am Yahweh, your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from being their slaves; and I broke the bars of your yoke, and I caused you to walk erectly.

14. “ ‘But if you do not listen to me and you do not carry out all these commands,

15. and if you reject my statutes and if your inner self abhors my regulations, to not carry out all my commands by your breaking my covenant,

16. I in turn will do this to you: then I will summon onto you horror, the wasting disease, and the fever that wastes eyes and that drains away life; and you shall sow your seed in vain, and your enemies shall eat it.

17. And I will set my face against you, and you shall be defeated before your enemies; and your haters shall rule over you, and you shall flee away, but there shall not be anybody who is pursuing you.

18. “ ‘And if in spite of these things you do not listen to me, then I will continue to discipline you seven times for your sins.

19. And I will break the pride of your strength; and I will make your heaven like iron and your land like copper.
