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 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 loathes My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, but rather to 9break My covenant, 16I, in turn, will do this to you: I will 10summon a 11sudden terror against you, consumption and fever that will make the eyes fail and the 12soul languish; also, 13you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it. 17And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and 14those who hate you will rule over you, and 15you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you 16seven times more for your sins. 19I will also 17break down your pride of power; and I will make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. 2018Your strength will be consumed uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
21‘Yet if you 1920show hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you 21seven times according to your sins. 2222I will also let loose among you the animals of the field, which will deprive you of your children and eliminate your cattle, and reduce your number so that 23your roads become deserted.
23‘24And if by these things you do not learn your lesson regarding Me, but you show hostility toward Me, 24then I in turn will 25show hostility toward you; and I, even I, will strike you 26seven times for your sins. 25I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute 27vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send a 28plague among you, so that you will be handed over to the enemy. 2629When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread 30in rationed amounts, so that you will 31eat and not be satisfied.
27‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me, 28then 32I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I for My part will punish you seven times for your sins. 29Further, 33you will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters. 30I then 34will destroy your high places, and cut down your 35incense altars, and 36pile your 37remains on the 38remains of your idols, for My soul will loathe you.
