Leviticus 26:16-39

16I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a 1sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the 2soul to pine away; also, 3you 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 4those who hate you will rule over you, and 5you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you 6seven times more for your sins. 19I will also 7break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. 208Your 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 910act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you 11seven times according to your sins. 2212I 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 13your roads lie deserted.

23‘14And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me, 24then I will 15act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you 16seven times for your sins. 25I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute 17vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send 18pestilence among you, so that you shall be delivered into enemy hands. 2619When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread 20in rationed amounts, so that you will 21eat and not be satisfied.

27‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me, 28then 22I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins. 29Further, 23you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat. 30I then 24will destroy your high places, and cut down your 25incense altars, and heap your 26remains on the 27remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you. 31I will 28lay 29waste your cities as well and will make your 30sanctuaries desolate, and I will not 31smell your soothing aromas. 32I will make 32the land desolate 33so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it. 33You, however, I 34will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.

34‘35Then the land will 36enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and 37enjoy its sabbaths. 35All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it. 36As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring 38weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee 39as though from the sword, and they will fall. 3740They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength 41to stand up before your enemies. 38But 42you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. 3943So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
