Leviticus

1
[The LORD continued,] "Never make worthless idols or set up a carved statue or a sacred stone for yourselves. Never cut figures in stone to worship them in your country, because I am the LORD your God.
(GWT)

2
Observe my days of worship and respect my holy tent. I am the LORD.
(GWT)

3
"This is what I will do if you will live by my laws and carefully obey my commands:
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
4
"I will give you rain at the right time. The land will produce its crops, and the trees in the field will produce their fruit.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
5
Threshing time will last until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until planting. You will eat all you want and live securely in your land.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
6
"I will bring peace to your land. You will lie down with no one to scare you. I will remove dangerous animals, and there will be no war in your land.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
7
You will chase your enemies, and you will defeat them.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
8
Five of you will chase a hundred of them, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand of them. You will defeat your enemies,
(GWT)

9
and I will be pleased with you. Your families will be large, and I will keep my promise to you.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
10
You will clear out old food supplies to make room for new ones.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
11
"I will put my tent among you, and I will never look at you with disgust.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
12
So I will live among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
13
I am the LORD your God. I brought you out of Egypt so that you are no longer slaves of the Egyptians. I have broken their power over you and made you live as a free people.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
14
"If you will not listen to me and obey all these commands,
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
15
if you reject my laws and look at my rules with disgust, if you reject my promise by disobeying my commands,
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
16
then this is what I will do to you: I will terrorize you with disease and fever. You will suffer from eye problems and depression. You will plant your crops and get nothing because your enemies will eat them.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
17
I will condemn you so that you will go down in defeat in front of your enemies. Those who hate you will be your rulers. You will run away even when no one is chasing you.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
18
"If you still will not listen to me, I will discipline you seven times for your sins.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
19
I will crush your arrogance. You will have no rain, and your land will be as hard as cement.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
20
You will work hard for nothing because your land will produce no crops and the trees will produce no fruit.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
21
"If you resist and don't listen to me, I will increase the punishment for your sins seven times.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
22
I will send wild animals among you. They will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle, and make you so few that your roads will be deserted.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
24
then I, too, will resist you. I will punish you seven times for your sins.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
25
I will bring war on you to get revenge for my promise [that you rejected]. When you gather in your cities, I will send plagues on you and you will fall under the control of your enemy.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
26
I will destroy your food supply. Ten women will need only one oven to prepare your food. You will eat and go away hungry.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
27
"If in spite of this you do not listen to me and still resist me,
(GWT)

I will fiercely resist you. I will discipline you seven times for your sins.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
30
I will destroy your worship sites, cut down your incense altars, and pile your dead bodies on top of your dead idols. I will look at you with disgust.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
31
I will make your cities deserted and ruin your sacred places. I will no longer accept the soothing aroma from your sacrifices.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
32
I will make your land so deserted that your enemies will be shocked as they settle in it.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
33
I will scatter you among the nations. War will follow you. Your country will be in ruins. Your cities will be deserted.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
34
"Then the land will enjoy its time [to honor the LORD] while it lies deserted and you are in your enemies' land. Then the land will joyfully celebrate its time [to honor the LORD].
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
35
All the days it lies deserted, it will celebrate the time [to honor the LORD] it never celebrated while you lived there.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
36
I will fill with despair those who are left in the land of their enemies. The sound of a windblown leaf will make them run. They will run away and fall, but no one will be chasing them.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
37
They will stumble over each other, but no one will be after them. They will not be able to stand up to their enemies.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
38
They will be destroyed among the nations. The land of their enemies will devour them.
(GWT)
Leviticus

40
"But if they confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors-the treacherous things they did to oppose me-
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
41
I will oppose them and bring them into the lands of their enemies. Then, if they humble their uncircumcised hearts and accept their guilt,
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
42
I will remember my promise to Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. I will also remember the land.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
43
The land, abandoned by them, will enjoy its time to honor the LORD while it lies deserted without them. They must accept their guilt because they rejected my rules and looked at my laws with disgust.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
44
Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or look at them with disgust. I will not reject or cancel my promise to them, because I am the LORD their God.
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
45
But for their sake, I will remember the promise to their ancestors. I brought them out of Egypt to be their God while nations looked on. I am the LORD."
(GWT)
Leviticus
26
:
46
These are the laws, rules, and instructions that the LORD gave to the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
