46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.

Leviticus 26:46
Covenant Blessings, Covenant Discipline, Exile, Confession, and Remembered Mercy
The chapter begins by prohibiting idols and commanding Sabbath observance and sanctuary reverence. It then promises covenant blessings for obedience: rain, harvest, peace, victory, fruitfulness, God's dwelling presence, and covenant fellowship. The chapter then turns to escalating covenant discipline if Israel refuses to listen: terror, disease, defeat, drought, wild beasts, sword, plague, famine, siege, cannibalism, sanctuary desolation, land desolation, scattering among nations, and exile. Yet the chapter concludes with hope: if Israel confesses sin and humbles their uncircumcised hearts, the LORD will remember His covenant with Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, and the land. Even in exile He will not reject or destroy them completely, because He remains the LORD their God.
