15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

15 if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,

15 and if you break my covenant by rejecting my decrees, treating my regulations with contempt, and refusing to obey my commands,

15 despising my decrees and holding my laws in contempt by your disobedience, making a shambles of my covenant,

15 and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;

15 if you reject my laws and look at my rules with disgust, if you reject my promise by disobeying my commands,

15 You will say no to my rules and turn away from my laws. And you will break my covenant by failing to carry out all of my commands.

Leviticus 26:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:15

And if ye shall despise my statutes
Which is an aggravated sin; to be negligent hearers of the commands of God is bad, not to be doers of them worse, but to treat them with contempt is worse still: or if your soul abhor my judgments:
which is worst of all, to despise them as if not wisely or righteously made is a dreadful reflection upon the Maker of them; but to abhor them as bad things, not fit to be regarded, but to be had in the utmost detestation, is shocking impiety: so that ye will not do all my commandments;
nor any of them, but are set against them, and determined and resolved on the contrary: [but] that ye break my covenant;
the covenant made with them at Sinai, when they promised, on their part, that they would hearken and be obedient, ( Exodus 24:7 ) .

Leviticus 26:15 In-Context

13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.

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

15 and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,

16 then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

17 I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.
