Leviticus 26:36-37-46 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

4. and I will send rain to make your crops grow and your trees produce fruit.

5. Your harvest of grain and grapes will be so abundant, that you won't know what to do with it all. You will eat and be satisfied, and you will live in safety.

6. I will bless your country with peace, and you will rest without fear. I will wipe out the dangerous animals and protect you from enemy attacks.

7. You will chase and destroy your enemies,

8. even if there are only five of you and a hundred of them, or only a hundred of you and ten thousand of them.

9. I will treat you with such kindness that your nation will grow strong, and I will also keep my promises to you.

36-37. In the land of your enemies, you will tremble at the rustle of a leaf, as though it were a sword. And you will become so weak that you will stumble and fall over each other, even when no one is chasing you.

38. Many of you will die in foreign lands,

39. and others of you will waste away in sorrow as the result of your sins and the sins of your ancestors.

40-41. Then suppose you realize that I turned against you and brought you to the land of your enemies because both you and your ancestors had stubbornly sinned against me. If you humbly confess what you have done and start living right,

42. I'll keep the promise I made to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bless your land

43. and let it rest during the time that you are in a foreign country, paying for your rebellion against me and my laws.

44. No matter what you have done, I am still the Lord your God, and I will never completely reject you or become absolutely disgusted with you there in the land of your enemies.

45. While nations watched, I rescued your ancestors from Egypt so that I would be their God. Yes, I am your Lord, and I will never forget our agreement.

46. Moses was on Mount Sinai when the Lord gave him these laws and teachings for the people of Israel.
