Leviticus 26:9

will establish rather, will carry out. The Heb. expression means, to fulfil the promises of an older covenant. Cp. Genesis 26:3, -I will establish [to Isaac] the oath which I sware unto Abraham"; Deuteronomy 9:5, to -establish the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers." So Jeremiah 34:18 of the inhabitants of Jerusalem who did not carry out the words of the covenant which they had made.
