²⁴ then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

If you try to escape from your enemies by shutting yourselves in your cities that have walls around them, I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture IDM you.

²⁶ When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten woman will be able to bake all their bread in only one oven.

²⁹ You will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will kill your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.

³⁰ And I will render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden images made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you.

¹⁷ I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

¹⁸ “‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

²⁷ And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

²⁸ Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

²⁹ Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

³⁰ And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

²⁷ But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:

²⁸ I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,

²⁹ So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.

³⁰ I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

¹⁷ I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

¹⁸ If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

¹⁹ I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

²⁰ Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

²¹ If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.

²² I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.

²³ However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,

²⁴ then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

²⁵ I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

²⁶ I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.

²⁷ However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,

²⁸ then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.

²⁹ You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.

³⁰ I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.

²⁹ And ye shall eate ye flesh of your sonnes, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye deuoure.

³⁰ I will also destroy your hye places, and cut away your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass.

²⁰ And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her produce, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

²² And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.

²³ And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk contrary unto Me;

²⁴ then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁵ And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶ When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
