Leviticus 26 verse 36-39
Punishment for Disobedience
36 “‘As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them. 37 They will stumble over one another as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies. 38 You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you. 39 Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’ sins they will waste away.
(36)اور جو تُم میں سے بچ جائیں گے اور اپنے دُشمنوں کے مُلکوں میں ہوں گے اُن کے دِل کے اندر مَیں بے ہمّتی پَیدا کر دُوں گا اور اُڑتی ہُوئی پتّی کی آواز اُن کو کھدیڑے گی اور وہ اَیسے بھاگیں گے جَیسے کوئی تلوار سے بھاگتا ہو اور حالانکہ کوئی پِیچھا بھی نہ کرتا ہو گا تَو بھی وہ گِر گِر پڑیں گے۔
(37)اور وہ تلوار کے خَوف سے ایک دُوسرے سے ٹکرا ٹکرا جائیں گے باوجُودیکہ کوئی کھدیڑتا نہ ہو گا اور تُم کو اپنے دُشمنوں کے مُقابلہ کی تاب نہ ہو گی۔
(38)اور تُم غَیر قَوموں کے درمِیان پراگندہ ہو کر ہلاک ہو جاؤ گے اور تُمہارے دُشمنوں کی زمِین تُم کو کھا جائے گی۔
(39)اور تُم میں سے جو باقی بچیں گے وہ اپنی بدکاری کے سبب سے تُمہارے دُشمنوں کے مُلکوں میں گُھلتے رہیں گے اور اپنے باپ دادا کی بدکاری کے سبب سے بھی وہ اُن ہی کی طرح گُھلتے جائیں گے۔
My point of view about above verses
God told Israelite that if they will not obey him and not live as per the law they will be punished - As there are rewards for obedience - there is punishment for dis-obedience also -
God says i will make your hearts so fearful that you will think the sound of a leaf fallen as sound of a sword in the land of your enemies where you are going to live. You will have feeling that someone is pursuing you as no one is after you- you will live your life in fear and despair and you will vanish in land of your enemies- & those who left will be few and very week - This all comes to you because you did not obey the Lord your God
God will give these punishments if we will not obey Him - so lets obey Him to live a prosperous earthly life
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
