²² Because these are days of vengeance that all which are written may be accomplished;

¹⁴ Now if you will not hearken to me, nor perform these my commandments, ¹⁵ but disobey them, and your souls abhor my judgments, so as not to perform all my commandments, so as to break my covenant, ¹⁶ I will deal with you in this manner; I will send against you distress, and the scab, and the gangrene to eat out your eyes; and wasting consumption; and you shall sow your seed in vain; for your enemies shall eat it: ¹⁷ and I will set my face against you; and you shall fall before your enemies; and they who hate you shall pursue you; and you shall flee when there is none pursuing you. ¹⁸ And if for all this you will not hearken to me, I will proceed to chastise you seven fold for your offences, ¹⁹ and break the haughtiness of your pride.; I will make the heaven for you as iron, and your land as brass; ²⁰ and your strength shall be spent in vain. The earth shall not yield you its seed, nor shall the trees of the field yield you their fruit. ²¹ And after all these things, if you walk adversely and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven fold plagues upon you according to your sins; ²² I will send against you the wild beasts of the earth, and they shall devour you, and destroy your cattle; and I will make you few in number, and your high ways shall be desolate. ²³ And if by these things you be not reformed, but walk adversely before me, ²⁴ I also will walk with you in adverse wrath, and smite you seven fold for your sins; ²⁵ I will bring a sword against you to avenge the cause of the covenant; and when you flee to your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies. ²⁶ In your affliction for want of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven and dole out your bread by weight, and you shall eat, but shall not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if for these things you will not hearken to me, but walk adversely before me, ²⁸ I also will walk with you in adverse ire, and chastise you seven fold, according to your sins. ²⁹ And you shall eat the flesh of your sons; and the flesh of your daughters also you shall eat: ³⁰ and I will lay waste your pillars, and utterly destroy your carved images of wood, and cast your mangled limbs among the mangled limbs of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. ³¹ And I will lay waste your cities, and make your sanctuaries a desolation, and no longer be regaled with the smell of your sacrifices. ³² I will also make your land a desolation, and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it. ³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and a sword shall overtake and consume you. And your land shall be a waste, and your cities a desolation.

¹⁵ But in case thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God to keep all his commandments which I this day give thee in charge, all these evils shall come upon thee and overtake thee: ¹⁶ Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed thou in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed shall be thy granaries, and thy stores. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the offspring of thy body, and the products of thy land, thy herds and thy flocks. ¹⁹ Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed thou when thou goest out. ²⁰ The Lord send upon thee want, and famine, and destruction on all the labour of thy hands, until he utterly root thee out, and until he destroy thee quickly, on the account of thy wicked devices. Seeing thou hast forsaken me, ²¹ may the Lord make the pestilence cleave to thee, until it utterly consume thee from the land to which thou art going, to take possession of it. ²² The Lord smite thee with anxiety, and fever, and chilness, and restlessness, and blasting, and mildew, that they may pursue thee until they utterly destroy thee. ²³ And when the heaven over thy head shall be brass, and the earth under thy feet iron, ²⁴ may the Lord thy God make the rain of thy land dust, so that dust from heaven may descend until it waste thee, and until it destroy thee speedily. ²⁵ May the Lord deliver thee up to slaughter before thine enemies, so that thou mayst go out one way to meet them, and flee seven ways from before them; and be a dispersion among all the kingdoms of the earth; ²⁶ and your dead carcasses be food for the birds of the air, and the wild beasts of the earth, and there be none to fray them away. ²⁷ The Lord smite thee with the Egyptian boil in thy seat, and with wild fire, and with itching, so that thou canst not be cured. ²⁸ The Lord smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart, ²⁹ so that thou mayst grope about at noon day, as a blind man gropeth in darkness; and let him not prosper thy ways, so thou shalt then be injured, and spoiled continually, and there will be none to help thee. ³⁰ Thou wilt take a wife, and another man shall have her. Thou wilt build a house, but shall not dwell therein. Thou wilt plant a vineyard, but shalt not gather the grapes thereof. ³¹ Thy ox will be slaughtered before thy face, and thou shalt not eat thereof. Thy ass will be taken from thee, and shall not be restored; thy flocks will be given to thine enemies, and there shall be none to help thee; ³² thy sons, and thy daughters, will be given to another nation, and thine eyes will melt in looking at them; there will be no strength in thy hand. ³³ A nation, which thou knowest not will eat the fruits of thy land, and all thy labours; and thou shalt be injured, and oppressed continually ³⁴ , and driven to madness at the sight of thine eyes, which thou shalt see. ³⁵ The Lord smite thee with a grievous boil on thy knees, and on thy legs, so that thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy feet to the crown of thy head. ³⁶ The Lord carry away thee, and thy rulers, whom thou mayst set over thee, to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers knew, that thou mayst there serve other gods; stocks and stones; ³⁷ and be there for a bye word, and a proverb, and a public example to all the nations to which the Lord shall bring thee. ³⁸ There thou shalt carry out much seed into the field, and shalt bring little home, for the locust shall devour it; ³⁹ thou shalt plant a vineyard and dress it; but shalt not press out wine, nor regale thyself from it; for worms shall eat it up. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt have plantations of olive trees, in all thy borders, but shalt not be anointed with oil, for thine olive tree shall cast its fruit: ⁴¹ thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but shalt not have them with thee; for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees and the products of thy land, shall be consumed with blasting. ⁴³ The stranger who is with thee shall rise higher and higher; but thou shalt fall lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee; and thou shalt not lend to him: He shall be head; and thou shalt be tail. ⁴⁵ All these curses shall actually come upon thee, and pursue thee, and overtake thee, until he root thee out, and utterly destroy thee because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, and his rules of rectitude, which he commanded thee, ⁴⁶ And they shall be signs for thee, and wonders for thine offspring forever. ⁴⁷ Because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with gladness, and with a good understanding, for the abundance of all things; ⁴⁸ therefore thou shalt serve thine enemies, whom the Lord will send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things, and thou shalt wear a yoke of iron on thy neck, until it utterly destroy thee. ⁴⁹ The Lord will bring against thee a nation from afar; from the extremity of the earth, with the impetuosity of an eagle; A nation whose voice thou shalt not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation of an unblushing countenance, which will not respect the person of an elder, nor compassionate a youth. ⁵¹ And it shall devour the increase of thy cattle, and the products of thy land, so as not to leave thee corn, wine, oil, herds or flocks, until it hath destroyed thee, ⁵² and wasted thee in thy cities; until they have demolished thy high, and strong walls, in which thou hast placed thy confidence, throughout thy whole land. And when he shall afflict thee in thy cities which he hath given thee; ⁵³ in thy siege, and in the affliction, with which thine enemy shall afflict thee, thou shalt eat the offspring of thy body; the flesh of thy sons, and thy daughters, whom he gave thee. ⁵⁴ The tender, and very delicate man who is with thee, will look with an evil eye on his brother, and on the wife in his bosom, and the remaining children which may be left him, ⁵⁵ so as not to give one of them any of the flesh of his sons, which he may be eating, because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in that affliction of thine with which thine enemies will afflict thee, in all thy cities. ⁵⁶ And the tender, and very delicate woman among you, whose foot never ventured to tread the ground because of her delicateness, and effeminacy will look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and on her son, and her daughter, ⁵⁷ even the female infant she bore, or the male child which she may have brought forth; for on the account of the want of all things, she will eat these secretly in thy siege, and in that affliction of thine with which thine enemy will afflict thee in thy cities. ⁵⁸ If thou wilt not hearken to do all the words of this law, which are written in this book, to fear this glorious, this wonderful name, The Lord Thy God, ⁵⁹ the Lord will make thy plagues, and the plagues of thy seed, wonderful beyond conception; he will make them great, and marvellous, and thy diseases sore, and lasting, ⁶⁰ and will bring upon thee all the affliction of Egypt; that grievous affliction which thou didst dread on their account, and they shall cleave to thee. ⁶¹ The Lord will also bring upon thee every sickness, and every plague, which is not written, and every one which is written in this book of the law, until he root thee out. ⁶² And you shall be left few in number, instead of being, as you were, like the stars of heaven for multitude. Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, ⁶³ therefore it shall come to pass, that as the Lord delighted in you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you, in rooting you out; and you shall be removed speedily from the land to which thou art going to take possession of it. ⁶⁴ And the Lord thy God will scatter thee among all the nations, from one extremity of the earth to the other; and thou shalt there serve other gods; stocks and stones, which neither thou, nor thy fathers have known. ⁶⁵ But even among these nations he will not give thee rest, nor shall there be any rest for the sole of thy foot. Indeed the Lord will give thee there a strange trembling heart, and failing eyes, and a desponding soul, ⁶⁶ and thy life shall hang in suspence before thine eyes, and thou shalt be in terror, day and night, and have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou wilt say; How will it be with me in the evening! And in the evening thou wilt say, How may it be with me in the morning! on account of the terror of thy heart with which thou shalt be affrighted, and on account of the sights of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ⁶⁸ And the Lord will send thee back into Egypt, in ships, [by the way which I ordered thou shalt see it no more:] and thou shalt there be exposed to sale to your enemies, for bond men and bond women, and there will be no purchaser.

¹⁹ Now in case any one shall hear the words of this curse, and bless himself in his heart, saying, Good luck betide me! I will walk in the error of my own heart, that the sinner may not involve the guiltless in ruin with himself. ²⁰ God will not be propitious to him, but most assuredly the anger of the Lord, and his indignation, will then be kindled against that man; and all the curses of this covenant, which are written in this book, shall cleave to him; and the Lord will blot out his name from under heaven. ²¹ The Lord will indeed separate him, from all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of this covenant, which are written in this book of the law. ²² And when the generations to come; your children who shall rise up after yon, and the stranger who may come from a far distant country, will say; when they shall see the plagues of that land, and the diseases thereof, which the Lord hath sent upon it; ²³ brimstone and burnt salt; when through the whole land there shall be no sowing; no natural productions, no verdure on it, a destruction like that of Sodom and Gomorra, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew with wrath and indignation; ²⁴ When all the nations shall say, Why hath the Lord dealt thus with this land? What hath occasioned this great fierceness of indignation? ²⁵ Then they will say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and went and served strange gods, which they did not know, and which he had not arranged for them, ²⁷ therefore the Lord was provoked to wrath against this land, to bring upon it all the curses which are written in the book of the law; ²⁸ and the Lord rooted them out from their land, with wrath, and anger, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land, as at this day.

³⁴ Behold! are not these things stored up with me? And sealed up among my treasures?

⁴³ Rejoice, heavens, with him, And let all the angels of God worship him: Rejoice, nations, with his people, And let all the children of God rely on him: For he avengeth the blood of his children, And will judge, and execute vengeance on his enemies, To them who hate him he will render retribution, And the Lord will purify the land of his people.

²² Let their table before them become a snare and a recompence and a stumbling block. ²³ Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their neck continually. ²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful ire take hold of them. ²⁵ Let their fold be desolate, and in their dwellings no inhabitant. ²⁶ Because him, whom thou smotest, they persecuted, and have added to the pains of my Wounds; ²⁷ add thou iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness. ²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be enrolled with the righteous.

⁷ to execute vengeance on the nations; rebukes among peoples. ⁸ To bind their kings with fetters; and their nobles with chains of iron: ⁹ to execute on them the judgments written. Such is the honour which all his saints have.

⁸ For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year for a judicial retribution to Sion:

¹² you I will deliver up to the sword; you shall all bow down to slaughter. Because I called and you answered not: I spake and you would not listen; but did what is evil in my sight; and chose the things in which I did not delight; ¹³ therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold my servants shall eat; but you shall be hungry: behold my servants shall drink; but you shall be thirsty: behold my servants shall rejoice; but you shall be ashamed: ¹⁴ behold my servants shall triumph with joy: But you shall scream for sorrow of heart, and howl for anguish of spirit. ¹⁵ For you shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen. As for you, the Lord will destroy you; but to my servants, a new name shall be given ¹⁶ which shall be blessed on the earth: for they will bless the true God: and they who swear on the earth, will swear by the true God. For they will forget their former affliction and it shall not recur to their mind:

⁶ flee out of Babylon and save every one his life and be not involved, in her iniquity. For the time of her punishment is come from the Lord, and he is rendering to her a recompence.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are set apart for thy people and for the holy city; for finishing sin offerings, and for sealing up sin offerings; and blotting out iniquities, and making atonement for iniquities; and for bringing in an everlasting righteousness; and for sealing vision and prophet; and for anointing the Holy of Holies. ²⁵ Therefore thou art to know and understand, that from the going forth of a word for returning an answer and for building Jerusalem until an Anointed ruler are seven weeks, and sixty two weeks. They shall indeed return and a street shall be built and a wall, and these times shall be emptied out, ²⁶ and after the sixty two weeks, the Messiah shall be cut off, though there is no crime in him; and he, with the ruler who is coming, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. They shall be destroyed with a deluge, and even to the end of the war determined on in course, with desolations. ²⁷ Now one week shall confirm a covenant for many and in the half of that week my sacrifice and libation shall be taken away. And upon the temple shall be an abomination of the desolations, and at the end of a time, an end shall be put to that desolation.

⁷ The days of the visitation are come; at hand are the days of thy recompence: and Israel shall be afflicted like the prophet who was struck with horror; the man who had been inspired. By the multitude of thine iniquities thy madness was increased.

¹ Open thy gates, O Libanus and let a fire devour thy cedars. ² Raise the mournful cry, pine tree, since the cedar is fallen, because the mighty are in great distress. Howl ye oaks of Basan, because the thick planted forest is rooted up. ³ A sound of shepherds singing the song of Woe, because their greatness is involved in distress; a sound of lions roaring, because the swelling of the Jordan hath distressed them.

¹ Behold days of the Lord are coming, when thy spoils shall be divided in thee. ² I will indeed gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women polluted. And the half of the city shall go forth into captivity. As for the remainder of my people they shall not be utterly cut off. From this city,

¹ For behold a day is coming, heated like an oven, which shall set them on fire. And all aliens and all workers of iniquity shall be like stubble. The day which is coming shall blaze upon them, saith the Lord Almighty, and of them neither root nor branch shall be left.

²² All this was done, so that there was a fulfilment of what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

¹⁹ For in those days there will be such distress as hath not happened from the beginning of the creation, which God created, till now; nor ever shall be. ²⁰ And had not the Lord shortened those days, no flesh could escape. But for the sake of the chosen, whom he hath made choice of, he hath shortened those days.

⁵ Indeed according to this obduracy, and impenitent heart of thine thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against a day of the wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

⁹ the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from, temptation, and to reserve the wicked to the day of judgment, to be punished;

⁷ but the heavens and the earth which now exist are, by the same word, treasured up for fire, being kept for the day of judgment, and destruction of these impious men.
