Bible. Leviticus
25:53. His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not
afflict him violently in thy sight.
25:54. And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the
jubilee he shall go out with his children.
25:55. For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth
out of the land of Egypt.
Leviticus Chapter 26
God's promises to them that keep his commandments. And the many
punishments with which he threatens transgressors.
26:1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not make to yourselves any idol
or graven thing: neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a
remarkable stone in your land, to adore it. For I am the Lord your God.
26:2. Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
26:3. If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them,
I will give you rain in due seasons.
26:4. And the ground shall bring forth its increase: and the trees shall
be filled with fruit.
26:5. The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and
the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your
bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.
26:6. I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall
be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword
shall not pass through your quarters.
26:7. You shall pursue your enemies: and they shall fall before you.
26:8. Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others: and a hundred of you
ten thousand. Your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9. I will look on you, and make you increase: you shall be
multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.
26:10. You shall eat the oldest of the old store: and, new coming on,
you shall cast away the old.
26:11. I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you: and my soul shall
not cast you off.
26:12. I will walk among you, and will be your God: and you shall be my
people.
26:13. I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of
the Egyptians, that you should not serve them: and who have broken the
chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
26:14. But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments:
26:15. If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do
those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
26:16. I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with
poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your
lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your
enemies.
26:17. I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before
your enemies: and shall be made subject to them that hate you. You shall
flee when no man pursueth you.
26:18. But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you
seven times more for your sins.
26:19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness: and I will make
to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass.
