Leviticus 26:14-26

1599 Geneva Bible

¹⁴ ¶ ^(A)But if ye will not obey me, nor do all these commandments,

¹⁵ And if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your soul abhor my laws, so that ye will not do all my Commandments, but break my ^[a]Covenant,

¹⁶ Then will I also do this unto you, I will appoint over you ^[b]fearfulness, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eyes, and make the heart heavy, and you shall sow your seed in vain: for your enemies shall eat it:

¹⁷ And I will set ^[c]my face against you, and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you, shall reign over you, ^(B)and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

¹⁸ And if ye will not for these things obey me, then will I punish you ^[d]seven times more, according to your sins,

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heaven as ^[e]iron, and your earth as brass:

²⁰ And your ^[f]strength shall be spent in vain: neither shall your land give her increase, neither shall the trees of the land give their fruit.

²¹ ¶ And if ye walk ^[g]stubbornly against me, and will not obey me, I will then bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.

²² I will also send wild beasts upon you, which shall ^[h]spoil you, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number: so your ^[i]highways shall be desolate.

²³ Yet if by these ye will not be reformed by me, but walk stubbornly against me,

²⁴ Then will I also walk ^(C)stubbornly against you, and I will smite you yet seven times for your sins:

²⁵ And I will send a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my Covenant: and when ye are gathered in your cities, I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶ When I shall break the ^[j]staff of your bread, then ten women shall bake your bread in one ^[k]oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, but not be satisfied.
