26:25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel
of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I
will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the
hand of the enemy.
26:26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again
by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;
26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I,
will chastise you seven times for your sins.
26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and
cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall
abhor you.
26:31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not
rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
26:36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a
sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your
enemies.
26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
enemies shall eat you up.
26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall
they pine away with them.
26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that
also they have walked contrary unto me;
26:41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought
them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts
be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
26:42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant
with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I
will remember the land.
