1 You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God.

Ye shall make yourselves no idols, neither rear you up for yourselves carved image, or statue, nor shall ye set up a figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am Jehovah your God.

2 Y ou shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the Lord.

Ye shall observe my sabbaths, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.

3 If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,

If ye walk in my statutes, and observe my commandments and do them,

4 t hen I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

then I will give your rain in the season thereof, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit;

5 Y our threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

and your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely.

6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will put away the evil beasts out of the land; and the sword shall not go through your land.

7 Y ou will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword;

8 F ive of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

and five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall beside you by the sword.

9 For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you.

And I will turn my face towards you and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

10 Y ou shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.

And ye shall eat old store, and clear away the old because of the new.

11 I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.

And I will set my habitation among you; and my soul shall not abhor you;

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

and I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be to me a people.

13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.

I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you walk upright.

14 But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

But if ye hearken not unto me, and do not all these commandments,

15 a nd if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

and if ye shall despise my statutes, and if your soul shall abhor mine ordinances, so that ye do not all my commandments, that ye break my covenant,

16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

I also will do this unto you—I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.

And I will set my face against you, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

18 And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

And if for this ye hearken not unto me, I will punish you sevenfold more for your sins,

19 I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

and I will break the arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze,

20 A nd your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

and your strength shall be spent in vain, and your land shall not yield its produce; and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.

21 Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring sevenfold more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate.

And I will send the beasts of the field among you, that they may rob you of your children, and cut off your cattle, and make you few in number; and your streets shall be desolate.

23 And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

And if ye will not be disciplined by me through these, but walk contrary unto me,

24 t hen I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will smite you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

25 A nd I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

And I will bring a sword upon you that avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 W hen I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.

When I break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

And if for this ye hearken not to me, but walk contrary unto me,

28 t hen I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven-fold for your sins.

29 Y ou shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you.

And I will lay waste your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you.

31 I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.

And I will lay waste your cities and desolate your sanctuaries; and I will not smell your sweet odours.

32 I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

And I will bring the land into desolation; that your enemies who dwell there in may be astonished at it.

33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be desolation, and your cities waste.

34 T hen the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land; then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, when ye are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 A s long as it lies desolate it shall rest— for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

All the days of the desolation it shall rest, which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.

36 And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee; they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.

And as to those that remain of you—I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth;

37 T hey shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues; and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

and they shall stumble one over another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 Y ou shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 A nd those of you who are left shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; also in their fathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

And they that remain of you shall waste away through their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste away with them.

40 But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, through their unfaithfulness wherein they were unfaithful to me, and also that they have walked contrary unto me,

41 a nd that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt—

so that I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

42 t hen I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land.

I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

43 T he land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they will accept their guilt, because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

For the land shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, when it is in desolation without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Y et for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.

And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them, and will not abhor them, to make an end of them utterly, to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah their God.

45 B ut for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.’”

But I will remember toward them the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.

46 T hese are the statutes and judgments and laws which the Lord made between Himself and the children of Israel on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
