Leviticus 26:24-33

24I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.

25And I will bring the sword on you to avenge the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be given into enemy hands.

26When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.

27“ ‘If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me,

28then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.

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

30I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless forms of your idols, and I will abhor you.

31I will turn your cities into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings.

32I myself will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who live there will be appalled.

33I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins.
