Context of Leviticus 26:18
16So God will send diseases to the people. They will be afraid. The people will have diseases in their eyes. They will get thin and they will die. They will plant their seed and their enemies will eat the fruit. 17God will fight against you. Your enemies will win the war. They will become your rulers. Your soldiers will run away even when nobody is running after them. The people may not obey God even after this. If they do not, God will punish them seven times more strongly. 19He will make them ashamed. He will not send any rain and the land will be hard and dry. 20Even if they do a lot of work, no grain will grow. No fruit will grow on the trees.
