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.
26:41. Therefore I also will walk against them, and bring them into
their enemies’ land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed. Then
shall they pray for their sins.
26:42. And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and
Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:
26:43. Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths,
being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because
they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.
26:44. And yet for all that when they were in the land of their
enemies, I did not cast them off altogether. Neither did I so despise
them that they should be quite consumed: and I should make void my
covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
26:45. And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out
of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I
am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the
Lord gave between him and the children of Israel, in mount Sinai, by
the hand of Moses.
Leviticus Chapter 27
Of vows and tithes.
27:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The
man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall
give the price according to estimation.
