Leviticus 26:19-29

19I will break your strong pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze.

20Your strength will be used up in vain, your land will not give its yield, and the trees of the land will not produce their fruit.

21“‘If you walk in hostility against me and are not willing to obey me, I will increase your affliction seven times according to your sins.

22I will send the wild animals against you and they will bereave you of your children, annihilate your cattle, and diminish your population so that your roads will become deserted.

23“‘If in spite of these things you do not allow yourselves to be disciplined and you walk in hostility against me,

24I myself will also walk in hostility against you and strike you seven times on account of your sins.

25I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. Although you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands.

26When I break off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight, and you will eat and not be satisfied.

27“‘If in spite of this you do not obey me but walk in hostility against me,

28I will walk in hostile rage against you and I myself will also discipline you seven times on account of your sins.

29You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.
