Leviticus 26:16-36

¹⁶I also will do this unto you: I will visit you with trouble, wasting and burning with darkness of eyes, and exhaustion of soul; and ye shall sow your seed in vain for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷And I will reveal My anger against you, and you shall be broken before your enemies; they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when no one pursueth you.

¹⁸And if yet with these ye will not obey My Word, I will add sevenfold chastisement upon your sins.

¹⁹And I will break the glory of your power, and will make the heavens above you obdurate as iron, to give no rain, and the ground beneath you hard as brass in yielding no fruit;

²⁰And your strength shall be put forth in vain, for your ground will not yield its produce, nor the tree of the earth its fruit.

²¹And if you will walk on forwardly before Me, and will not turn again to obey My Word, I will add to bring upon you a stroke sevenfold (heavier) according to your sins.

²²And I will send the beast of the wilderness against you, and it shall devour you, and consume your cattle, and diminish you, and make your ways desolate.

²³And if through these (calamities) ye will not be corrected by My Word, but will walk before Me with hardness (of heart),

²⁴I also will proceed with you in hardness, and will smite you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

²⁵And I will bring upon you those who kill with the sword, who shall take vengeance upon you in punishment for your transgressions against the words of the law. And you will congregate in your cities; but I will send forth the pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

²⁶When I shall have broken for you the support of food, ten women will prepare your bread in one oven, and return your bread by weight, and you will eat, but will not be satisfied.

²⁷And if with this you will not be obedient to My Word, but will walk before me with obstinacy,

²⁸I will proceed with you with strengthened anger, and will chastise you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

²⁹And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters will you eat.

³⁰And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and will throw your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and My Word shall abhor you.

³¹And I will make your cities a waste, and lay waste your sanctuary, and accept no more the offering of your congregation.

³²And I will make your country a wilderness, and your enemies who will dwell in it shall spread desolation upon it.

³³And I will disperse you among the nations, and draw out after you them who kill with the sword, and your country shall be a desert and your cities a waste.

³⁴Then shall the land enjoy her repose all the days in which it shall be a desert, and you be in the land of your enemies: so shall the land repose, and enjoy her remission:

³⁵All the days of its desolateness it shall rest; because it did not rest in your times of intermission, when you were inhabitants upon it.

³⁶And to the heart of those of you who are left in the land of their enemies will I send brokenness, and they shall flee at the sound of a falling leaf; they shall flee as flying from before those who kill with the sword, and fall, while no man pursueth.
