Leviticus 26:39

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.

for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.

for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God, lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

and return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul,

If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.

Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants,

that you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;

Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Our fathers sinned, and are no more. We have borne their iniquities.

that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.

These things will be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.

He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

It shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;

Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

Among these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul.

Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
