CHAP. XXVI.

1 Idolatrie forbidden. 3 A blessing to them that kepe the commandements. 14 The curfse to those that breake them. 42 God promiseth to remembre his couenant.

* 1.1

1 YE shal make you none idoles nor gra∣uen* 1.2 * 1.3 image, nether reare you vp anie* 1.4 * piller, nether shal ye set" anie image of stone in your lād to bowe downe to it: for I am the Lord your God.* 1.5

2 Ye shal kepe my Sabbaths, and reuerence my Sanctuarie: I am the Lord.* 1.6

3 ¶ * If ye walke in mine ordinances, and kepe my commandements, and do them,

4 I wil then send youa 1.7 raine in due season, and the land shal yelde her increase, and the trees of the field shal giue their frute.

5 And your threshing shal reache vnto the vintage, and the vintage shal reache vnto so wing time, and you shal eat your bread* 1.8 in plēteousnes, & * dwel in your lād safely

6 And I wil send peace in the land, & ye shal slepe and none shal make you afraied: also I” 1.9 wil rid euil beasts out of the lād and theb 1.10 sworde shal not go through your land.

7 Also ye shal chase your enemies, and they shal fall before you vpon the sworde.

8 * And fiue of you shal chase an hundreth,* 1.11 and an hundreth of you shal put ten thou sand to flight, and your enemies shal fall before you vpon the sworde.

9 For” 1.12 I wil haue respect vnto you, & make you encrease, & multiplie you, andc 1.13 esta∣blish my couenant with you.

10 Ye shal eat also olde store, & cary out olde because of the newe.* 1.14 * 1.15

11 * And I wil set myd 1.16 Tabernacle among you and my soule shal not lothe you.

12 Also I wil walke among you, and I wil be your God, and ye shal be my people.

13 I am the lord your God which haue broght you out of the land of Egypt, that ye shul de not be their bondmē, & I haue broken* 1.17 thee 1.18 bondes of your yoke, and made you go vpright.* 1.19 * 1.20

14 ¶ * But if ye wil not obey me, nor do all

these commandements,

15 And if ye shal despise mine ordināces, ether if your soule abhorre my Lawes, so that ye wil not do all my commādements, but brea∣ke myf 1.21 couenant,

16 Then wil I also do this vnto you, I will ap∣point ouer you“ 1.22 fearfulnes, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eies, and make the heart heauie, and you shal sowe your sede in vaine: for your enemies shal eat it.

17 And I wil setg 1.23 my face against you, and ye shal, fall before your enemies, and they that hate you, shal reigne ouer you,* and ye shal* 1.24 flee when none pursueth you,

18 And ifye wil not for these (things) obey me then wil I punish youh 1.25 seuen times more, according to your sinnes,* 1.26

19 And I wil breake the pride of your power, and I wil make your heauen as yron, and your earth as brasse:

20 And your“ 1.27 strēght shalbe spent in vaine: ne ther shal your land giue her increase, nether shal the trees of the land giue their frute.

21 ¶ And if ye walkek 1.28 stubbernely against me, and wil not obey me, I wil then bring seuen times mo plagues vpon you, according to your sinnes.

22 I wil also send wilde beastes vpō you, which shall 1.29 spoile you, and destroy your cattel, & make you fewe in nomber: so your hye m 1.30 wayes shalbe desolate.

23 Yet if by these ye wil not be reformed by me, but walke stubbern ely against me,* 1.31

24 Then wil I also walke* stubbernely against* 1.32 you, and I wil smite you yet seuen times for your sinnes:

25 And I wil send a sworde vpon you, that shal auenge the quarel of my couenat and whē ye are gathered in your cities, I wil send the pestilence among you, and ye shal be deli∣uered into the hand of the enemie.

26 Whēl shal breake then 1.33 staffe of your bread then ten women shal bake your bread in oneo 1.34 ouen, & they shal deliuer your bread againe by weight, and ye shal eat, but not be satisfied.

27 Yet if ye wil not for this obey me, but walk against me stubbernely,

28 Then wil I walke stubberly in (mine) angre against you, & I wil also chastice you seuē times (more) according to your sinnes.

29 And ye shal eat the flesh of your sonnes, & the flesh of your daughters shal ye deuoure

30 I wil also destroye your hie places, & * cut away your images, and cast your carkeises* 1.35 vpon the bodies of your idoles, & my soule* 1.36 shal abhorre you.

31 And I wil make your cities desolate, and bring your Sāctuarie vnto noght, andp 1.37 wil not smel the sauour of your swete odoures

32 I wil also bring the land vnto a wildernes and your enemies, which dwel therein, shal be astonished there at.

33 Also I wil scatter you among the heathen andq 1.38 wil drawe out a sworde after you & your land shalbe waste, and your cities shalbe desolate.

34 Then shal the land enioye her * Sabbaths* 1.39 as long as it lieth voyde, and ye shalbe in your enemies land: then shal the land rest and enioye her Sabbaths.

35 All the daies that it lieth voyde, it shal rest, because it did not rest in yourr 1.40 Sab∣baths, when ye dwelt vpon it.

36 And vpon them that are left of you, I wil send euen a“ 1.41 faintenes into their hearts in the land of their enemies, & the sounde of a leafe shaken shal chase them, and they shals 1.42 fiee as fleing from a sworde, and they shal fall, no man pursuing them.

37 They shal fall also one vpon an other, as before a sworde, thogh none pursue them and ye shal not be able to stād before your enemies:

38 And ye shal perish among the heathen, & the land of your enemies shal eat you vp.

39 And they that are left of you, shal pine away for their iniquitie, in your ennemies lands, & for the iniquities of their fathers shal they pine away witht 1.43 them also.

40 Then thei shal confesse their iniquitie, & the wickednes of their fathers for their trespas, which they haue trespassed agaist me, and also because thei haue walked stubbernely against me,

41 Therefore I wil walke stubbernely aga∣inst them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so thē their vncircumcised hearts shal be humbled, and thē they shal willingly beare (the punishemēt of) their* 1.44 iniquitie.

42 Then I wil remembre my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak and also my couenant with Abraham wil I remember, and wil remember the land.

43 u 1.45 The lād also (in the meane season) shalbe left of them, & shal enioye her Sabbaths while she lieth waste without thē, but they shal willingly suffre (the punishment of) their iniquitie, because thei dispised my la wes, & because their soule abhorred mine ordinances.* 1.46

44 Yet notwithstanding this, whē they shal∣be* 1.47 in the land of their enemies,* I wil not cast thē away, nether wil I abhorre thē, to destroy thē vtterly (nor) to breake my co∣uenāt with thē: for I am the Lord their God

45 But I wil remēbre for them thex 1.48 couenāt of olde when I broght them out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathē that I might be their God I am the Lord.

46 These are the ordinances, & the iudge∣ments, & the lawes, which the Lord made betwene him, and the children of Israél in mounty 1.49 〈◊〉〈◊〉, by the hand of Mosés.
