Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Leviticus 26:25-46

25And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
27But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
28then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
29You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
30I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.
31I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
32And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.
33But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.
34Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
35As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.
36As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.
37They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.
38You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
39Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.
40But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me —
41and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies— and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,
42then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
43For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
44Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
45But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”
46These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
