Leviticus 26:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 26:18

16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you, ^awasting disease and fever which shall ^bconsume the eyes and ^ccause sorrow of heart.
And ^dyou shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 I will¹ set ^aMy face against you, and ^byou shall be defeated by your enemies.
^cThose who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall ^dflee when no one pursues you.

18 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you ^aseven times more for your sins.

19 I will ^abreak the pride of your power;
I ^bwill make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

20 And your ^astrength shall be spent in vain;
for your ^bland shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

22 ^aI will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number;
and ^byour highways shall be desolate.

23 ‘And if ^aby these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

24 ^athen I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

25 And ^aI will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant;
when you are gathered together within your cities ^bI will send pestilence among you;
and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 ^aWhen I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, ^band you shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

28 then I also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 ^aYou¹ shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 ^aI will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;
and My soul shall abhor you.

31 I will lay your ^acities waste and ^bbring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not ^csmell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.
