The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 03: Leviticus: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Leviticus
26:20. Your labour shall be spent in vain: the ground shall not bring
forth her increase: nor the trees yield their fruit.
26:21. If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will
bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins.
26:22. And I will send in upon you the beasts of the field, to destroy
you and your cattle, and make you few in number: and that your highways
may be desolate.
26:23. And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
26:24. I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times
for your sins.
26:25. And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my
covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the
pestilence in the midst of you. And you shall be delivered into the
hands of your enemies,
26:26. After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten
women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and
you shall eat, and shall not be filled,
26:27. But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk
against me,
26:28. I will also go against you with opposite fury: and I will
chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
26:29. So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your
daughters.
26:30. I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall
fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
26:31. Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness: and I
will make your sanctuaries desolate: and will receive no more your sweet
odours.
26:32. And I will destroy your land: and your enemies shall be
astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.
26:33. And I will scatter you among the Gentiles: and I will draw out
the sword after you. And your land shall be desert, and your cities
destroyed.
26:34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her
desolation. When you shall be
26:35. In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the
sabbaths of her desolation: because she did not rest in your sabbaths,
when you dwelt therein.
26:36. And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their
hearts in the countries of their enemies. The sound of a flying leaf
shall terrify them: and they shall flee as it were from the sword. They
shall fall, when no man pursueth them.
26:37. And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from
wars: none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.
26:38. You shall perish among the Gentiles: and an enemy's land shall
consume you.
26:39. And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their
iniquities, in the land of their enemies: and they shall be afflicted
for the sins of their fathers, and their own.
26:40. Until they confess their iniquities, and the iniquities of their
ancestors, whereby they have transgressed against me, and walked
contrary unto me.
