Leviticus 26:1-13

Living Bible

26 “You must have no idols; you must never worship carved images, obelisks, or shaped stones, for I am the Lord your God. ² You must obey my Sabbath laws of rest, and reverence my Tabernacle, for I am the Lord.

³ “If you obey all of my commandments, ^4-5 I will give you regular rains, and the land will yield bumper crops, and the trees will be loaded with fruit long after the normal time!^[a] And grapes will still be ripening when sowing time comes again. You shall eat your fill, and live safely in the land, ⁶ for I will give you peace, and you will go to sleep without fear. I will chase away the dangerous animals. ⁷ You will chase your enemies; they will die beneath your swords. ⁸ Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you, ten thousand! You will defeat all of your enemies. ⁹ I will look after you, and multiply you, and fulfill my covenant with you. ¹⁰ You will have such a surplus of crops that you won’t know what to do with them when the new harvest is ready! ¹¹ And I will live among you and not despise you. ¹² I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be my people. ¹³ For I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would be slaves no longer; I have broken your chains so that you can walk with dignity.^[b]
