³ If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
