Context of Leviticus 26:19
17And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will also break down your pride of power; and I will make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. 20Your 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 show hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times according to your sins.
