Leviticus 26:11-30
111Moreover, I will make My 2dwelling among you, and My soul will not 3reject you. 124I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. 135I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and 6I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.
14‘7But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments, 15if, instead, you 8reject My statutes, and if your soul abhors My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, and so 9break My covenant, 16I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a 10sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the 11soul to pine away; also, 12you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. 17I will set My face against you so that you will be struck down before your enemies; and 13those who hate you will rule over you, and 14you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you 15seven times more for your sins. 19I will also 16break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. 2017Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
21‘If then, you 1819act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you 20seven times according to your sins. 2221I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that 22your roads lie deserted.
23‘23And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me, 24then I will 24act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you 25seven times for your sins. 25I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute 26vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send 27pestilence among you, so that you shall be delivered into enemy hands. 2628When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread 29in rationed amounts, so that you will 30eat and not be satisfied.
27‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me, 28then 31I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins. 29Further, 32you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat. 30I then 33will destroy your high places, and cut down your 34incense altars, and heap your 35remains on the 36remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you.
