ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵³ And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁴ So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁵ So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁷ And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁸ If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁹ Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁰ Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶¹ Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶³ And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁴ And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁸ And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
