You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword.

Leviticus 26 : 15 (HCSB)
if you reject My statutes and despise My ordinances, and do not observe all My commands-- and break My covenant,
Leviticus 26 : 16 (HCSB)
then I will do this to you: I will bring terror on you-- wasting disease and fever that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will sow your seed in vain because your enemies will eat it.
Leviticus 26 : 17 (HCSB)
I will turn against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even though no one is pursuing you.
Leviticus 26 : 18 (HCSB)
"But if after these things you will not obey Me, I will proceed to discipline you seven times for your sins.
Leviticus 26 : 19 (HCSB)
I will break down your strong pride. I will make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

Leviticus 26 : 23 (HCSB)
"If in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but act with hostility toward Me,
Leviticus 26 : 24 (HCSB)
then I will act with hostility toward you; I also will strike you seven times for your sins.
Leviticus 26 : 25 (HCSB)
I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a pestilence among you, and you will be delivered into enemy hands.
Leviticus 26 : 26 (HCSB)
When I cut off your supply of bread, 10 women will bake your bread in a single oven and ration out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

Leviticus 26 : 32 (HCSB)
I also will devastate the land, so that your enemies who come to live there will be appalled by it.
Leviticus 26 : 33 (HCSB)

Leviticus 26 : 34 (HCSB)
"Then the land will make up for its Sabbath *years during the time it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and make up for its Sabbaths.
Leviticus 26 : 35 (HCSB)
As long as it lies desolate, it will have the rest it did not have during your Sabbaths when you lived there.
Leviticus 26 : 36 (HCSB)
"I will put anxiety in the hearts of those of you who survive in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a wind-driven leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as one flees from a sword, and fall though no one is pursuing *them .
Leviticus 26 : 37 (HCSB)
They will stumble over one another as if *fleeing from a sword though no one is pursuing them . You will not be able to stand against your enemies.
Leviticus 26 : 38 (HCSB)
You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.
Leviticus 26 : 39 (HCSB)

Leviticus 26 : 41 (HCSB)
and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies-- and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled, and if they will pay the penalty for their sin,
Leviticus 26 : 42 (HCSB)
then I will remember My covenant with Jacob. I will also remember My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
Leviticus 26 : 43 (HCSB)
For the land abandoned by them will make up for its Sabbaths by lying desolate without the people, while they pay the penalty for their sin, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
Leviticus 26 : 44 (HCSB)
Yet in spite of this, while they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or abhor them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them, since I am the LORD their God.
Leviticus 26 : 45 (HCSB)
For their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God; I am the LORD."
Leviticus 26 : 46 (HCSB)
These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
