14‘aBut if you do not obey Me and do not do all these commandments, 15if, instead, you areject My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments so as not to do all My commandments and so bbreak My covenant, 16I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a asudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the bsoul to pine away; also, cyou will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. 17‘And I will 1set My face against you so that you will be 2defeated before your enemies; and athose who hate you will have dominion over you, and byou will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18‘If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will discipline you aseven times more for your sins. 19‘I will also abreak down your pride of strength; I will also give your sky over to become like iron and your earth like bronze. 20‘aAnd your power will be spent uselessly, for your land will not give forth its produce and the trees of the land will not give forth their fruit.
21‘If then, you awalk in hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you bseven times according to your sins. 22‘aAnd I will send out among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and cut down your cattle and reduce your number so that byour roads lie desolate.
23‘aAnd if by these things you do not accept My discipline, but walk in hostility against Me, 24then I will awalk in hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you bseven times for your sins. 25‘I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute avengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send bpestilence among you so that you shall be given over into enemy hands. 26‘aWhen I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread by rationed weight so that you will beat and not become full.
27‘Yet, if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but walk in hostility against Me, 28then aI will walk in wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will discipline you seven times for your sins. 29‘Further, ayou will eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you will eat. 30‘I then awill destroy your high places and cut down your bincense altars and give your corpses to lie on the corpses of your idols, for My soul shall loathe you. 31‘And I will give your cities over as a awaste and will make your bsanctuaries desolate, and I will not csmell your soothing aromas. 32‘And I will make athe land desolate, bso that your enemies who inhabit it will themselves feel desolate because of it. 33‘You, however, I awill scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.
