And they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. ⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them, for I am LORD 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 nations, that I might be their God.

¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: ¹⁶ Cursed shall thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock. ¹⁹ Cursed shall thou be when thou come in, and cursed shall thou be when thou go out. ²⁰ LORD will send upon thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou put thy hand to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly, because of the evil of thy doings, by which thou have forsaken me. ²¹ LORD will make the pestilence cling to thee, until he has consumed thee from off the land, where thou go in to possess it. ²² LORD will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew.

Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it. ³¹ Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee.

And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand. ³³ The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always, ³⁴ so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ³⁵ LORD will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which thou cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head. ³⁶ LORD will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shall set over thee, to a nation that thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers. And there thou shall serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where LORD shall lead thee away. ³⁸ Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall consume it. ³⁹ Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall eat them. ⁴⁰ Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off. ⁴¹ Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess. ⁴³ The sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher, and thou shall come down lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him. He shall be the head, and thou shall be the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou hearkened not to the voice of LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee, ⁴⁶ and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed forever. ⁴⁷ Because thou served not LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things, ⁴⁸ therefore thou shall serve thine enemies that LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he has destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ LORD will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand, ⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young, ⁵¹ and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish. ⁵² And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land. And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which LORD thy God has given thee. ⁵³ And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom LORD thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee. ⁵⁴ The man who 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 remnant of his sons whom he has remaining, 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 distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon 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 want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. ⁵⁸ If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD, ⁵⁹ then LORD will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance. ⁶⁰ And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee. ⁶¹ Also every sickness, and every calamity, which is not written in the book of this law, them LORD will bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. ⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou did not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass, that, as LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so LORD will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you. And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it. ⁶⁴ And LORD will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ⁶⁸ And LORD will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again. And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

¹⁸ Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations. Lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood, ¹⁹ and it comes to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry. ²⁰ LORD will not pardon him, but then the anger of LORD and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and LORD will blot out his name from under heaven. ²¹ And LORD will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law. ²² And the generation to come, your sons who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the calamities of that land, and the sicknesses with which LORD has made it sick. ²³ The whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, a burning. It is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath, ²⁴ even all the nations shall say, Why has LORD done thus to this land? What is the meaning of the heat of this great anger? ²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given to them. ²⁷ Therefore the anger of LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book. ²⁸ And LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day. ²⁹ The secret things belong to LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

¹⁷ But if thy heart turns away, and thou will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them, ¹⁸ I declare to you this day, that ye shall surely perish. Ye shall not prolong your days in the land where thou pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.

²⁸ Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them. ²⁹ For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because ye will do that which is evil in the sight of LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

¹⁹ And LORD saw, and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters. ²⁰ And he said, I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be. For they are a very perverse generation, sons in whom is no faithfulness. ²¹ They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities, and I will move them to jealousy with a non-nation. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. ²² For a fire is kindled in my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains. ²³ I will heap evils upon them. I will spend my arrows upon them, ²⁴ to be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. And I will send upon them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of crawling things of the dust. ²⁵ Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the chambers terror, to both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs. ²⁶ I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men, ²⁷ were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge amiss, lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, and LORD has not done all this. ²⁸ For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them. ²⁹ Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! ³⁰ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight unless their Rock had sold them, and LORD had delivered them up? ³¹ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. ³² For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. ³³ Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps. ³⁴ Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures? ³⁵ Vengeance is for me, and recompense at the time when their foot shall slide. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste. ³⁶ For LORD will judge his people, and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large. ³⁷ And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge, ³⁸ which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection. ³⁹ See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. And there is none that can deliver out of my hand. ⁴⁰ For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, As I live forever, ⁴¹ if I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me. ⁴² I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy. ⁴³ Rejoice, O ye Gentiles, with his people. For he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will recompense those who hate him, and will make expiation for his land, for his people. ⁴⁴ And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.

²² Let their table before them become a snare, and when they are in peace, a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them. ²³ Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and bow down their back continually. ²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them. ²⁵ Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents. ²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou have smitten, and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou have wounded. ²⁷ Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness. ²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

²² For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness. ²³ For a full end, and that determined, the Lord, LORD of hosts, will make in the midst of all the earth.

²² Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong. For I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, LORD of hosts, upon the whole earth.

⁶ I, LORD, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,

¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.

³ Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the faithful holy things of David.

³¹ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, ³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says LORD. ³³ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says LORD: I will give my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

⁴⁰ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. And I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me. ⁴¹ Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good. And I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. ⁴² For thus says LORD: Just as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

⁶⁰ Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant. ⁶¹ Then thou shall remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shall receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger, and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. ⁶² And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shall know that I am LORD, ⁶³ that thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou have done, says the lord LORD.

¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual burnt offering, and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

³⁶ And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that which is determined shall be done.

¹¹ And from the time that the continual burnt offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

¹⁵ When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him who reads understand),

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed on behalf of many for remission of sins.

⁵¹ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks split,

¹⁴ But when ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains,

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation of it has come near.

²⁴ And they will fall by the jaw of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

¹⁵ But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

¹⁹ For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.

⁸ And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers), ⁹ and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree. ¹⁴ So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith. ¹⁵ Brothers (I speak according to a man), in the same way of a man, no man annuls or adds to a contract that has been ratified. ¹⁶ Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, And to the seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, who is Christ. ¹⁷ And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.

¹⁵ The men who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and who persecuted us, and are not pleasing to God, and are contrary to all men. ¹⁶ Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.

¹³ For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself, ¹⁴ saying, Surely indeed, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. ¹⁵ And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men certainly swear by the greater, and of every dispute with them the oath is final for confirmation. ¹⁷ By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath. ¹⁸ So that by two immutable events, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge to seize the hope being openly displayed.

⁸ For, finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will perfect a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. ⁹ Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. ¹⁰ Because this is the covenant that I will ordain with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be to them for a God, and they will be to me for a people. ¹¹ And they will, no, not teach each man his fellow citizen, and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, because all will know me, from their small as far as their great. ¹² Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins and their lawlessness I will no, not further remember. ¹³ In saying, New, he has made the first old. And what is becoming old and obsolete is near disappearance.

¹⁵ And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant. ¹⁷ For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives. ¹⁸ Whereupon neither has the first been dedicated without blood. ¹⁹ For of every commandment according to law that was spoken by Moses to all the people, after taking the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God made for you.

²⁸ so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body. ⁶ In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God, ⁸ saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law. ⁹ Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ. ¹¹ And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins. ¹² But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ waiting henceforth until his enemies are placed a footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified. ¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, after indeed foretelling, ¹⁶ This is the covenant that I will ordain with them after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws on their hearts, and on their minds I will write them, ¹⁷ and, Their sins and their lawlessness I will, no, not further remember. ¹⁸ Now where there is remission of these, there is no more offering for sin. ¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entrance into the holy things by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which he inaugurated for us, a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh, ²¹ and a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed in pure water.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant-our Lord Jesus- ²¹ may he make you fully qualified in every good work in order to do his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly.
