Leviticus 26:18-28

18The 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.

21The people may still not listen to God. If they do not, he will be seven times more angry. If they do not obey him, he will cause their lives to be seven times more difficult.

22He will send wild animals to kill their children and their animals. The land will be almost empty.

23The people may still not listen to God. If they do not, he will be angry.

24He will become their enemy. If they do not obey him, he will punish them seven times more strongly.

25He will send enemy soldiers to kill the people. They have not done what they promised to do. So he will punish them for that. If they go back to their cities, he will send them diseases. The enemy will win the war.

26The people will not have any food. A woman will bake one loaf for ten families. They will weigh it to give one part to each family. When a person eats his piece of bread, he will still be hungry.

27If the people still turn away from God, he will be even more angry. They will not turn away from their sin.

28So he will turn away from them. He will punish them seven times more again.
