| [1]I am the Lord your God: ye shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall ye rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall ye set up a stone for an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God. |
[No book] |
| [2]Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord. |
[No book] |
| [3]If ye will walk in my ordinances, and keep my commandments, and do them, |
[No book] |

[No book] |
| [5]And your threshing time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seed time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full; and ye shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your land. |
[No book] |
| [6]And I will give peace in your land, and ye shall sleep, and none shall make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land, |

| [13]I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where ye were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly. |
[No book] |
| [14]But if ye will not hearken to me, nor obey these my ordinances, |
[No book] |
| [15]but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that ye should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant, |
[No book] |
| [16]then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and disease that consumes your life; and ye shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them. |
[No book] |
| [17]And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and ye shall flee, no one pursuing you. |

[No book] |
| [23]And if hereupon ye are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me, |
[No book] |
| [24]I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will smite you seven times for your sins. |
[No book] |
| [25]And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of my covenant, and ye shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies. |

[No book] |
| [35]And ye shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your sabbaths, when ye dwelt in it. |
[No book] |
| [36]And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none pursues them. |
[No book] |
| [37]And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and ye shall not be able to withstand your enemies. |

[No book] |
| [41]and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in the punishment of their sins. |

[No book] |
| [44]And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break my covenant made with them; for I am the Lord their God. |
[No book] |
| [45]And I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, to be their God; I am the Lord. |
