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 do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I Jehovah your God.

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

`My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I Jehovah.

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

`If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done 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 have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its 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 reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing-; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

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 have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

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

`And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen 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 have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before 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 have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

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

and ye have eaten old, and the old because of the new ye bring out.

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

`And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

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

and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye -- ye are become My 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 Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.

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

`And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;

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 at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands -- to your breaking 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 do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten 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 have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing 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 unto these ye hearken not to Me, -- then I have added to chastise you seven times 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 have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;

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 consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its 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 with Me opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, 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 sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

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

`And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me opposition,

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

then I have walked -- I also -- with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times 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 have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an 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.

`In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not 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, and have walked with Me in opposition,

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 have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

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

`And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do 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 have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed 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 have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;

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

and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been 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 you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a 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 doth the land enjoy its sabbaths -- all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies -- then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed 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 resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.

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 those who are left of you -- I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled -- flight from a sword -- and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

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 have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,

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

and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed you.

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 those who are left of you -- they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.

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 have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,

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—

also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies -- or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they 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.

then I have remembered My covenant Jacob, and also My covenant Isaac, and also My covenant Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.

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.

`And -- the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,

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 also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I 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.’”

then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I 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 the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
