Lev 26:14-46, Deu 28:15, 29:18-28, 30:17-19, 31:16-22, 32:15-25 | ESV | STEP | But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments ,

14 ^a“But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments, 15 if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but ^bbreak my covenant, 16 then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with ^cwasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And ^dyou shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 I will ^eset my face against you, and ^fyou shall be struck down before your enemies. ^gThose who hate you shall rule over you, and ^hyou shall flee when none pursues you. 18 And if in spite of this you will not listen to me, then I will discipline you again ⁱsevenfold for your sins, 19 and I will break ^jthe pride of your power, and I ^kwill make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 And ^lyour strength shall be spent in vain, for ^myour land shall not yield its increase, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.

21 ⁿ“Then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me, I will continue striking you, sevenfold for your sins. 22 And ^oI will let loose the wild beasts against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that ^pyour roads shall be deserted.

23 “And ^qif by this discipline you are not turned to me ^rbut walk contrary to me, 24 ^sthen I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins. 25 And ^tI will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, ^uI will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 ^vWhen I break your supply ^{▼▼Hebrew staff} of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and ^xyou shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 “But ^yif in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, 28 then I will walk contrary to you ^zin fury, and I myself will discipline you ^aasevenfold for your sins. 29 ^abYou shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. 30 And ^acI will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and ^adcast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. 31 And I will ^aelay your cities waste and will ^afmake your sanctuaries desolate, and ^agI will not smell your pleasing aromas. 32 And ^ahI myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be ^aiappalled at it. 33 And ^ajI will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 ^ak“Then the land shall enjoy ^{▼▼Or pay for; twice in this verse; also verse 43} its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it. 36 And as for those of you who are left, ^amI will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The ^ansound of a ^aodriven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And ^apyou shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall ^aqrot away in your enemies’ lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40 “But if ^arthey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ^ascommitted against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their ^atuncircumcised heart is ^auhumbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will ^avremember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will ^awremember the land. 43 But ^axthe land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^ayI will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and ^azbreak my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, ^bawhom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^bbin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

46 ^bcThese are the statutes and rules and laws that the Lord made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses ^bdon Mount Sinai.

Deuteronomy 28:15

Curses for Disobedience

15 “But ^beif you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and ^bfovertake you.

Deuteronomy 29:18-28

18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you ^bga root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit, 19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.’ This will lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike. 20 The Lord will not be willing to forgive him, but rather ^bhthe anger of the Lord and ^bihis jealousy will smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book will settle upon him, and the Lord ^bjwill blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law. 22 And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, ^bkwill say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick— 23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and ^blsalt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, ^bman overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, ^bnAdmah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24 all the nations ^bowill say, ^bp‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, ^bqbringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord ^bruprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and ^bscast them into another land, as they are this day.’

Deuteronomy 30:17-19

17 But if ^btyour heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 ^buI declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, ^bvblessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live,

Deuteronomy 31:16-22

16 And the Lord said to Moses, ^bw“Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers. Then this people will rise and ^bxwhore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will ^byforsake me and ^bzbreak my covenant that I have made with them. 17 Then my anger will be kindled against them in that day, and ^caI will forsake them and ^cbhide my face from them, and they will be devoured. And many evils and troubles will come upon them, so that they will say in that day, ^cc‘Have not these evils come upon us because ^cdour God is not among us?’ 18 And I will surely hide my face in that day because of all the evil that they have done, because ^cethey have turned to other gods.

19 “Now therefore write ^cfthis song and ^cgteach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be ^cha witness for me against the people of Israel. 20 For when I have brought them into the land ^ciflowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and ^cjgrown fat, ^ckthey will turn to other gods and serve them, and ^cldespise me and ^cmbreak my covenant. 21 And when many evils and troubles have come upon them, this song shall confront them as ^cna witness (for it will live unforgotten in the mouths of their offspring). For ^coI know what they are inclined to do even today, before I have brought them into the land that I swore to give.” 22 So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32:15-25

15 “But ^cpJeshurun grew fat, and ^cqkicked;
^cryou grew fat, stout, and sleek;
^csthen he forsook God ^ctwho made him
and scoffed at ^cuthe Rock of his salvation.
16 ^cvThey stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 ^cwThey sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to ^cxnew gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of ^cythe Rock that bore ^{▼▼Or fathered} you,
and you ^daforgot the God who gave you birth.
19 ^db“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of ^dchis sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, ^dd‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 ^deThey have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger ^dfwith their idols.
So ^dgI will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with ^dha foolish nation.
22 For ^dia fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to ^djthe depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
^dkI will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send ^dlthe teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of ^dmthings that crawl in the dust.
25 ^dnOutdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
