Leviticus 26:24-33

24then I myself will be hostile toward you. I will personally strike you with calamity seven times over for your sins.

25I will send armies against you to carry out the curse of the covenant you have broken. When you run to your towns for safety, I will send a plague to destroy you there, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

26I will destroy your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake bread for their families. They will ration your food by weight, and though you have food to eat, you will not be satisfied.

27“If in spite of all this you still refuse to listen and still remain hostile toward me,

28then I will give full vent to my hostility. I myself will punish you seven times over for your sins.

29Then you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30I will destroy your pagan shrines and knock down your places of worship. I will leave your lifeless corpses piled on top of your lifeless idols, and I will despise you.

31I will make your cities desolate and destroy your places of pagan worship. I will take no pleasure in your offerings that should be a pleasing aroma to me.

32Yes, I myself will devastate your land, and your enemies who come to occupy it will be appalled at what they see.

33I will scatter you among the nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.
