Leviticus 26 verse 14-17
Punishment for Disobedience
14 “‘But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, 15 and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant, 16 then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it. 17 I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.
(14)لیکن اگر تُم میری نہ سُنو اور اِن سب حُکموں پر عمل نہ کرو۔
(15)اور میری شرِیعت کو ترک کرو اور تُمہاری رُوحوں کو میرے فَیصلوں سے نفرت ہو اور تُم میرے سب حُکموں پر عمل نہ کرو بلکہ میرے عہد کو توڑو۔
(16)تو مَیں بھی تُمہارے ساتھ اِس طرح پیش آؤُں گا کہ دہشت اور تپِ دِق اور بُخار کو تُم پر مُقرّر کر دُوں گا جو تُمہاری آنکھوں کو چَوپٹ کر دیں گے اور تُمہاری جان کو گُھلا ڈالیں گے اور تُمہارا بیج بونا فضُول ہو گا کیونکہ تُمہارے دُشمن اُس کی فصل کھائیں گے۔
(17)اور مَیں خُود بھی تُمہارا مُخالِف ہو جاؤُں گا اور تُم اپنے دُشمنوں کے آگے شِکست کھاؤ گے اور جِن کو تُم سے عداوت ہے وُہی تُم پر حُکمرانی کریں گے اور جب کوئی تُم کو رگیدتا بھی نہ ہو گا تب بھی تُم بھاگو گے۔
My point of view about above verses
God told Israelite that if they will not obey him and not live as per law they will be punished - As there are rewards for obedience - there is punishment for dis-obedience also - You will have a sense of fear even when there is nothing to fear, There will be diseases which will tear you out . Your crops which you will sow will be eaten by your enemies. You will be defeated in wars and the people you hate will be your rulers and you will be running all the time without any purpose
Look How God punishes when people did not follow Him or obey him
Let God give us wisdom to understand his word and apply in our lives
We need to live in this world as God wants us to live - we have to do what he is telling us to do- as it is in our advantage in the long run
May God bless all those who are obeying His commandments
