Bible verses about "denial" | MKJV

¹ You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God. ² You shall keep My sabbaths and revere My sanctuary. I am Jehovah. ³ If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, ⁴ then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. ⁵ And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time. And you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. ⁶ And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down and none shall make you afraid. And I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. ⁷ And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. ⁸ And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight. And your enemies shall fall by the sword in front of you. ⁹ For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you. ¹⁰ And you shall eat of the old provision, and clear away the old because of the new. ¹¹ And I will set My tabernacle among you. And My soul shall not abhor you. ¹² And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people. ¹³ I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from being their bondmen. And I have broken the bonds of your yoke, and made you go upright. ¹⁴ But if you will not listen to Me, and will not do all these commandments, ¹⁵ and if you shall despise My statutes, or if your soul hates My judgments, so that you will not do all My commandments, so that you break My covenant; ¹⁶ I will also do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, consumption, and burning fever, consuming the eyes and causing sorrow of heart. 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 be slain before your enemies. They that hate you shall reign over you. And you shall flee when none pursues you. ¹⁸ And if you will not yet listen to Me for all this, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. ¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heaven like iron and your earth like bronze. ²⁰ And your strength shall be spent in vain. For your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the field yield their fruits. ²¹ And if you walk contrary to Me, and will not listen to Me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. ²² I will also send wild beasts among you, who shall bereave you. And I will destroy your cattle, and make you few. And your highways shall be deserted. ²³ And if you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will still walk contrary to Me, ²⁴ then I will walk contrary to you and will punish you seven times more for your sins. ²⁵ And I will bring a sword on you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant. And when you are gathered inside your cities, I will send the plague among you. And you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. ²⁶ When I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight. And you shall eat and not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if you will not for all of this listen to Me, but will walk contrary to Me, ²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you also in fury. And I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. ²⁹ And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat. ³⁰ And I will destroy your high places and cut down your images, and throw your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul shall despise you. ³¹ And I will make your cities waste and cause your sanctuaries to be deserted. And I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. ³² And I will turn the land into wasteland. And your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. ³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and will draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be waste, and your cities waste. ³⁴ Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies waste, and you are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest and enjoy its sabbaths. ³⁵ As long as it lies waste it shall rest, because it did not rest in your sabbaths when you lived on it. ³⁶ And on those of you that are left I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as if fleeing from a sword. And they shall fall when none pursues. ³⁷ And they shall fall on one another, as if it were before a sword, when none pursues. And you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. ³⁸ And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. ³⁹ And they that are left of you shall putrefy in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies. And also they shall putrefy with them in the iniquities of their fathers. ⁴⁰ If they shall confess their wilfulness and the wilfulness of their fathers, with their sin which they sinned against Me, and that also they have walked contrary to Me, ⁴¹ I also will walk contrary to them and will bring them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they then pay for their iniquity, ⁴² then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham I will remember. And I will remember the land. ⁴³ The land also shall be forsaken by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while it lies waste without them. And they shall accept the punishment of their iniquities; because, even because they despised My judgments, and because their soul hated My statutes. ⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I hate them, to destroy them utterly and to break My covenant with them. For I am Jehovah their God. ⁴⁵ But for their sakes, I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, so that I might be their God. I am Jehovah. ⁴⁶ These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which Jehovah made between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

¹ To the Chief Musician. For the sons of Korah. A Song "For the Virgins". God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

¹ And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain. And when He had sat down, His disciples came to Him. ² And He opened His mouth and taught them, saying, ³ Blessed are the poor in spirit! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. ⁴ Blessed are they that mourn! For they shall be comforted. ⁵ Blessed are the meek! For they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness! For they shall be filled. ⁷ Blessed are the merciful! For they shall obtain mercy. ⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart! For they shall see God. ⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers! For they shall be called the sons of God. ¹⁰ Blessed are they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for My sake. ¹² Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward in Heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. ¹³ You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men. ¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. ¹⁷ Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to destroy but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For truly I say to you, Till the heaven and the earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass from the Law until all is fulfilled. ¹⁹ Therefore whoever shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of Heaven. But whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you that unless your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of Heaven. ²¹ You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not kill" --and, "Whoever shall kill shall be liable to the judgment." ²² But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell. ²³ Therefore if you offer your gift on the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, ²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. ²⁵ Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; that the opponent not deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out from there until you have paid the last kodrantes. ²⁷ You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit adultery." ²⁸ But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. ³⁰ And if your right hand offends you, cut it off and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. ³¹ It was also said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. ³² But I say to you that whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who is put away commits adultery. ³³ Again, you have heard that it has been said to the ancients, "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord." ³⁴ But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne; ³⁵ not by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King; ³⁶ nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no. For whatever is more than these comes from evil. ³⁸ You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." ³⁹ But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. ⁴⁰ And to him desiring to sue you, and to take away your tunic, let him have your coat also. ⁴¹ And whoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two. ⁴² Give to him who asks of you, and you shall not turn away from him who would borrow from you. ⁴³ You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you, ⁴⁵ so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? ⁴⁷ And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax-collectors do so? ⁴⁸ Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

¹ Then Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the wilderness, to be tempted by the Devil. ² And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterwards hungry. ³ And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. ⁴ But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." ⁵ Then the Devil took Him up into the holy city and set Him upon a pinnacle of the Temple. ⁶ And he said to Him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it is written, "He shall give His angels charge concerning You, and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone." ⁷ Jesus said to him, It is written again, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." ⁸ Again, the Devil took Him up into a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. ¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve." ¹¹ Then the Devil left him. And behold, angels came and ministered to Him. ¹² But when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He went back into Galilee. ¹³ And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is on the seacoast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali, ¹⁴ so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations! ¹⁶ The people who sat in darkness saw a great Light; and Light has sprung up to those who sat in the region and shadow of death." ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent! For the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. ¹⁸ And walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea. For they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And He said to them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ And they immediately left their nets and followed him. ²¹ And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them; ²² and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him. ²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. ²⁴ And His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought to Him all those being badly ill suffering various diseases and torments, and those who had been possessed with demons, and those who had been moonstruck, and paralytics. And He healed them. ²⁵ And great multitudes of people followed Him, from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond Jordan.

³⁸ You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." ³⁹ But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

¹ Having spoken these words, Jesus went out with His disciples over the winter stream Kidron, where there was a garden. He and His disciples entered into it. ² And Judas who betrayed Him also knew the place. For Jesus oftentimes went there with His disciples. ³ Then Judas, having received a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? ⁵ They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I AM! And Judas who betrayed Him also stood with them. ⁶ Then as soon as He had said to them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground. ⁷ Then He asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. ⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM. Therefore if you seek Me, let these go away; ⁹ (that the word might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You have given Me, I have lost not one of them"). ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Then Jesus said to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath. The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it? ¹² Then the band, and the chiliarch, and under-officers of the Jews together seized Jesus and bound Him. ¹³ And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year. ¹⁴ And Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple went out, the one who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her who kept the door and brought Peter in. ¹⁷ Then the girl who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. ¹⁸ And the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold. And they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself. ¹⁹ Then the high priest asked Jesus of His disciples and of His teaching. ²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews always resort, and I have said nothing in secret. ²¹ Why do you ask Me? Ask those who heard me what I have said to them. Behold, they know what I said. ²² And when He had spoken this way, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Do you answer the high priest so? ²³ Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me? ²⁴ Then Annas had sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. ²⁵ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, being kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? ²⁷ Peter then denied again. And immediately a cock crowed. ²⁸ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the praetorium. And it was early. And they did not go into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled, and that they might eat the Passover. ²⁹ Then Pilate went out to them and said, What charge do you bring against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said to him, If he were not an evildoer, then we would not have delivered him up to you. ³¹ Then Pilate said to them, You take him and judge him according to your Law. Then the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death ³² (that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke signifying what death He was about to die). ³³ Then Pilate entered into the praetorium again and called Jesus and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered him, Do you say this thing of yourself, or did others say it to you about Me? ³⁵ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me. What have you done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight so that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here. ³⁷ Pilate then said to Him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say it that I am a king. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. ³⁸ Pilate said to Him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I find no fault in him. ³⁹ But you have a custom that I should release one to you at the Passover. Then do you desire that I release to you the king of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas! But Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfected, thoroughly furnished to every good work.

²³ And He said to all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

²⁷ And answering, he said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.

¹⁵ If you love Me, keep My commandments.

¹ And God spoke all these words, saying, ² I am Jehovah your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³ You shall have no other gods before Me. ⁴ You shall not make to yourselves any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁵ You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I Jehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those that hate me, ⁶ and showing mercy to thousands of those that love Me and keep My commandments. ⁷ You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain. For Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain. ⁸ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days you shall labor and do all your work. ¹⁰ But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah your God. You shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger within your gates. ¹¹ For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and sanctified it. ¹² Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long upon the land which Jehovah your God gives you. ¹³ You shall not kill. ¹⁴ You shall not commit adultery. ¹⁵ You shall not steal. ¹⁶ You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. ¹⁷ You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbor's. ¹⁸ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw, they trembled, and stood afar off. ¹⁹ And they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear. But let not God speak with us, lest we die. ²⁰ And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, for God has come to test you, and so that His fear may be before your faces, so that you may not sin. ²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. ²² And Jehovah said to Moses, So you shall say to the sons of Israel, You have seen that I have talked with you from the heavens. ²³ You shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall you make to you gods of gold. ²⁴ You shall make an altar of earth to Me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In all places where I record My name I will come to you, and I will bless you. ²⁵ And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stone. For if you lift up your tool upon it, you have defiled it. ²⁶ And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness be not uncovered on it.

¹ And it will be, if you shall listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command you today, Jehovah your God will set you on high above all nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings shall come on you and overtake you, if you will listen to the voice of Jehovah your God. ³ You shall be blessed in the city, and be blessed in the field. ⁴ The fruit of your body shall be blessed, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep. ⁵ Your basket and your store shall be blessed. ⁶ You shall be blessed when you come in, and blessed when you go out. ⁷ Jehovah shall cause your enemies that rise up against you to be stricken before your face. They shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways. ⁸ Jehovah shall command the blessing on you in your storehouses, and all that you set your hand to. And He shall bless you in the land which Jehovah your God gives you. ⁹ Jehovah shall establish you a holy people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. ¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Jehovah, and they shall be afraid of you. ¹¹ And Jehovah shall prosper you in goods, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. ¹² Jehovah shall open to you His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall loan to many nations, and you shall not borrow. ¹³ And Jehovah shall make you the head, and not the tail. And you shall be always above, and you shall not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you today, to observe and to do them. ¹⁴ And you shall not go aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or the left, to go after other gods to serve them. ¹⁵ And it shall be, if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe and to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, all these curses shall come on you and overtake you. ¹⁶ You shall be cursed in the city, and cursed in the field. ¹⁷ Your basket and your store shall be cursed. ¹⁸ The fruit of your body shall be cursed, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep. ¹⁹ You shall be cursed when you come in, and cursed when you go out. ²⁰ Jehovah shall send on you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings by which you have forsaken Me. ²¹ Jehovah shall make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from off the land where you go to possess it. ²² Jehovah shall strike you with lung disease and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew. And they shall pursue you until you perish. ²³ And your heavens over your head shall be bronze, and the earth that is under you iron. ²⁴ Jehovah shall make the rain of your land powder and dust. It shall come down from the heavens on you until you are destroyed. ²⁵ Jehovah shall cause you to be stricken before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them. And you shall be a trembling to all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And your body shall be food to all birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth. And no man shall frighten them away. ²⁷ Jehovah will strike you with the boils of Egypt, and with the hemorrhoids, and with the scab, and with the itch, of which you cannot be healed. ²⁸ Jehovah shall strike you with madness and blindness, and astonishment of heart. ²⁹ And you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. And you shall always be pressed down and spoiled forever, and no man shall save you. ³⁰ You shall become engaged to a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You shall build a house, and you shall not live in it. You shall plant a vineyard, and you shall not gather the grapes of it. ³¹ Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it. Your ass shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you, your sheep given to your enemies, and you shall have none to rescue them. ³² Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail for them all the day long. And there shall be no power in your hand. ³³ The fruit of your land, and all your labors, shall be eaten up by a nation which you do not know. And you shall always be oppressed and crushed, ³⁴ and you shall be mad because of that which you shall see with the sight of your eyes. ³⁵ Jehovah shall strike you in the knees and in the legs with an evil ulcer that cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. ³⁶ Jehovah shall bring you, and your king which you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known. And there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word among all nations where Jehovah shall lead you. ³⁸ You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall eat it. ³⁹ You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but shall neither drink the wine nor gather, for the worm shall eat them. ⁴⁰ You shall have olive trees throughout all your coasts, but you shall not anoint with the oil, for your olive shall drop off its fruit. ⁴¹ You shall father sons and daughters, but you shall not enjoy them, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All your trees and the fruit of your land the locust shall possess. ⁴³ The stranger within you shall get up above you very high, and you shall come down very low. ⁴⁴ He shall loan to you, and you shall not loan to him. He shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. ⁴⁶ And they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever. ⁴⁷ Because you did not serve Jehovah your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart for the abundance of all things; ⁴⁸ therefore you shall serve your enemies which Jehovah shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you. ⁴⁹ Jehovah shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand, ⁵⁰ a nation fierce of face who shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young. ⁵¹ And he shall eat the fruit of your cattle and the fruit of your land, until you are destroyed. He shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your livestock, or flocks of your sheep, until he has destroyed you. ⁵² And he shall besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down, throughout all the land. And he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land which Jehovah your God has given you. ⁵³ And you shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which Jehovah your God has given you, in the siege and in the anguish with which your enemies shall distress you. ⁵⁴ The man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his sons which he has left; ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left to him in the siege and in the anguish with which your enemies shall distress you in all your gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not have ventured to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, ⁵⁷ and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear. For she shall eat them secretly for lack of all things, in the siege and anguish with which your enemies shall distress you in your gates. ⁵⁸ If you will not observe to do all the words of this Law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH YOUR GOD, ⁵⁹ then Jehovah will make your plagues remarkable, and the plagues of your seed great and persistent plagues; with evil and long-lasting sicknesses. ⁶⁰ Also, He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid. And they shall cling to you. ⁶¹ Also, every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this Law, Jehovah will bring them on you until you are destroyed. ⁶² And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for multitude, because you would not obey the voice of Jehovah your God. ⁶³ And it shall be, as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to destroy you and to bring you to nothing. And you shall be plucked from off the land where you go to possess it. ⁶⁴ And Jehovah shall scatter you among all people, from the one end of the earth even to the other, and you shall serve other gods there, which neither you nor your fathers have known, wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations you shall find no ease, neither shall the sole of your foot have rest. But Jehovah shall give you there a trembling heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of mind. ⁶⁶ And your life shall hang in doubt before you, and you shall fear day and night, and shall have no assurance of your life. ⁶⁷ In the morning you shall say, Oh that it were evening! And at evening you shall say, Oh that it were morning, for the fear of your heart with which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. ⁶⁸ And Jehovah shall bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again. And there you shall be sold to your enemies for men-slaves and women-slaves, and no man shall buy you.

²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.

⁴ For it is a servant of God to you for good. For if you practice evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him who does evil.

⁴⁷ Because you did not serve Jehovah your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart for the abundance of all things; ⁴⁸ therefore you shall serve your enemies which Jehovah shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you.

²⁶ A righteous man falling down before the wicked is like a troubled fountain and a rotten spring.

⁸ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.
