17 I shall set my face against you, and ye shall fall before your enemies, and ye shall be subjects to them that hate you (or and ye shall be made subject to them who hate you); (and) ye shall flee, while no man pursueth you.
18 But if neither so ye obey to me (or And if ye shall still not obey me), I shall increase your chastising sevenfold for your sins;
19 and I shall all-break the pride of your hardness, and I shall give to you heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass; (and I shall break in pieces all of your hard-headed pride; and I shall make the heavens above you like iron, and the earth beneath you like bronze;)
20 your travail shall be wasted in vain, neither the earth shall bring forth fruit, neither the trees shall give apples. (all your labour shall be in vain, the land shall not bring forth any harvest, nor shall the trees give forth any fruit.)
21 If ye go contrary to me, neither will hear me (or and will not listen to me), I shall increase your wounds, either vengeances, till into sevenfold for your sins;
