Leviticus 26

New Living Translation NLT

1 “Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the LORD your God.

2 You must keep my Sabbath days of rest and show reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD .

3 “If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands,

4 I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.

5 Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land.

6 “I will give you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep with no cause for fear. I will rid the land of wild animals and keep your enemies out of your land.

7 In fact, you will chase down your enemies and slaughter them with your swords.

8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand! All your enemies will fall beneath your sword.

9 “I will look favorably upon you, making you fertile and multiplying your people. And I will fulfill my covenant with you.

10 You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest!

11 I will live among you, and I will not despise you.

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

13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk with your heads held high.

14 “However, if you do not listen to me or obey all these commands,

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

16 I will punish you. I will bring sudden terrors upon you—wasting diseases and burning fevers that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your enemies will eat them.

17 I will turn against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will run even when no one is chasing you!

18 “And if, in spite of all this, you still disobey me, I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

19 I will break your proud spirit by making the skies as unyielding as iron and the earth as hard as bronze.

20 All your work will be for nothing, for your land will yield no crops, and your trees will bear no fruit.

21 “If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey me, I will inflict disaster on you seven times over for your sins.

22 I will send wild animals that will rob you of your children and destroy your livestock. Your numbers will dwindle, and your roads will be deserted.

23 “And if you fail to learn the lesson and continue your hostility toward me,

24 then I myself will be hostile toward you. I will personally strike you with calamity seven times over for your sins.

25 I will send armies against you to carry out the curse of the covenant you have broken. When you run to your towns for safety, I will send a plague to destroy you there, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

26 I will destroy your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake bread for their families. They will ration your food by weight, and though you have food to eat, you will not be satisfied.

27 “If in spite of all this you still refuse to listen and still remain hostile toward me,

28 then I will give full vent to my hostility. I myself will punish you seven times over for your sins.

29 Then you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30 I will destroy your pagan shrines and knock down your places of worship. I will leave your lifeless corpses piled on top of your lifeless idols, and I will despise you.

31 I will make your cities desolate and destroy your places of pagan worship. I will take no pleasure in your offerings that should be a pleasing aroma to me.

32 Yes, I myself will devastate your land, and your enemies who come to occupy it will be appalled at what they see.

33 I will scatter you among the nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.

34 Then at last the land will enjoy its neglected Sabbath years as it lies desolate while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. Then the land will finally rest and enjoy the Sabbaths it missed.

35 As long as the land lies in ruins, it will enjoy the rest you never allowed it to take every seventh year while you lived in it.

36 “And for those of you who survive, I will demoralize you in the land of your enemies. You will live in such fear that the sound of a leaf driven by the wind will send you fleeing. You will run as though fleeing from a sword, and you will fall even when no one pursues you.

37 Though no one is chasing you, you will stumble over each other as though fleeing from a sword. You will have no power to stand up against your enemies.

38 You will die among the foreign nations and be devoured in the land of your enemies.

39 Those of you who survive will waste away in your enemies’ lands because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors.

40 “But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me.

41 When I have turned their hostility back on them and brought them to the land of their enemies, then at last their stubborn hearts will be humbled, and they will pay for their sins.

42 Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

43 For the land must be abandoned to enjoy its years of Sabbath rest as it lies deserted. At last the people will pay for their sins, for they have continually rejected my regulations and despised my decrees.

44 “But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out, for I am the LORD their God.

45 For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD .”

46 These are the decrees, regulations, and instructions that the LORD gave through Moses on Mount Sinai as evidence of the relationship between himself and the Israelites.

Common English Bible CEB

1 You must not make any idols, and do not set up any divine image or sacred pillar. You must not place any carved stone in your land, bowing down to it, because I am the LORD your God.

2 You must keep my sabbaths and respect my sanctuary; I am the LORD.

3 If you live according to my rules, keep my commands, and do them,

4 I will give you rain at the proper time, the land will produce its yield, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.

5 Your threshing season will last until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will last until planting time. You will eat your fill of food and live securely in your land.

6 I will grant peace in the land so that you can lie down without anyone frightening you. I will remove dangerous animals from the land, and no sword will pass through it.

7 You will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you in battle.

8 Five of you will chase away a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase away ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you in battle.

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

10 You will still be eating the previous year's harvest when the time will come to clear it out to make room for the new!

11 I will place my dwelling among you, and I will not despise you.

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

13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt's land—who brought you out from being Egypt's slaves. I broke your bonds and made you stand up straight.

14 But if you do not obey me and do not carry out all these commands—

15 if you reject my rules and despise my regulations, not doing all my commands and breaking my covenant—

16 then I will do the following to you: I will bring horrific things: wasting diseases and fevers that make the eyes fail and drain life away. You will plant seed for no reason because your enemies will eat the food.

17 I will turn my face against you: you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you; and you will run away even when no one is chasing you.

18 If, despite all that, you still do not obey me, I will punish you for your sins seven more times:

19 I will destroy your prideful power. I will turn your sky to iron and your land to bronze

20 so that your strength will be spent for no reason: your land will not produce its yield, and the trees of the land won't produce their fruit.

21 If you continue to oppose me and are unwilling to obey me, I will strike you for your sins seven more times:

22 I will send wild animals against you, and they will kill your children and destroy your livestock. They will make you so few in number that your roads will seem deserted.

23 If, despite these things, you still do not accept my discipline and continue to oppose me,

24 then I will continue to oppose you. I will strike you for your sins seven more times:

25 I will bring the sword against you, avenging the breaking of the covenant. If you retreat into your cities, I will send a plague on you, and you will be handed over to the enemy.

26 When I destroy your food supply, ten women will bake bread in a single oven, and they will ration out bread by weight. You will eat but will never get full.

27 If, despite all this, you still do not obey me and continue to oppose me,

28 then I will continue to oppose you—with anger! I will punish you for your sins seven more times:

29 You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30 I will eliminate your shrines, chop down your incense altars, and pile your dead bodies on the dead bodies of your idols. I will despise you.

31 I will turn your cities into ruins, I will devastate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the soothing smells of your offerings.

32 I will personally devastate the land so much that your enemies who resettle it will be astonished by it.

33 I will scatter you among the nations. I will unsheathe my sword against you. Your land will be devastated and your cities will be ruins.

34 At that time, while it is devastated and you are in enemy territory, the land will enjoy its sabbaths. At that time, the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 During the whole time it is devastated, it will have the rest it didn't have during the sabbaths you lived in it.

36 I will bring despair into the hearts of those of you who survive in enemy territory. Just the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to running, and they will run scared as if running from a sword! They will fall even when no one is chasing them!

37 They will stumble over each other as they would before a sword, even though no one is chasing them! You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 You will disappear among the nations—the land of your enemies will devour you.

39 Any of you who do survive will rot in enemy territory on account of their guilty deeds. And they will rot too on account of their ancestors' guilty deeds.

40 But if they confess their and their ancestors' guilt for the wrongdoing they did to me, and for their continued opposition to me—

41 which made me oppose them, so I took them into enemy territory—or if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they make up for their guilt,

42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob. I will also remember my covenant with Isaac. And my covenant with Abraham. And I will remember the land.

43 The land will be absent of them and will be enjoying its sabbaths while it lies devastated, free of them. They will be making up for their guilty deeds for no other reason than the fact that they rejected my regulations and despised my rules.

44 But despite all that, when they are in enemy territory, I will not reject them or despise them to the point of totally destroying them, breaking my covenant with them by doing so, because I am the LORD their God.

45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant with the first generation, the ones I brought out of Egypt's land in the sight of all the nations, in order to be their God; I am the LORD.

46 These are the rules, regulations, and instructions between the LORD and the Israelites that he gave through Moses on Mount Sinai.
