Leviticus 26:1-13

The Voice

26 Eternal One: Do not fashion any idols or blasphemous images. Do not erect any sacred pillars as the nations around you do. Do not set up any carved stones in your land and bow down to them. I am the Eternal your God. ² Honor My Sabbaths, and treat My sanctuary as a holy place. I am the Eternal One.

³ If you walk in My decrees and keep My commandments in your daily lives, ⁴ I will grant you plenty of rain in the seasons when you need it, and your land will produce abundant crops and your trees will be filled with fruit. ⁵ Your grain threshing will last until the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until it is time to plant again. You will fill your bellies with food and feel secure as you live in the land. ⁶ I will see to it that you have peace in your land. You will be able to go to bed at night without a worry on your mind. I will take away the dangerous animals that roam your land, and no armies will invade your land. ^7-8 When you go after your enemies, they will fall by your sword. Five of you will go after 100 of your enemies, and 100 of you will cause 10,000 to flee. ⁹ I will grant you My favor, and you will be fruitful, multiply, and have many healthy children, and I will continue to honor My covenant with you. ¹⁰ You will have so much surplus food from year to year that you will have to make room for the new harvest when it comes in. ¹¹ I will make my home among you and never turn away from you. ¹² I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.^{[a] 13} I am the Eternal One, your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be their slaves. I have shattered the yokes that broke your backs and helped you walk straight and upright.
