Punishment for Disobedience

14 “ ‘Butr if you do not listen to me and you do not carry outs all these commands, 15 and if you reject my statutes and if your inner selft abhors my regulations, to not carry outu all my commands by your breaking my covenant, 16 I ⌊in turn⌋v will do this to you: thenw I will summon onto you horror, the wasting disease, and the fever that wastes eyes and that drains away life; and you shall sow your seed ⌊in vain⌋,x and your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and you shall be defeated ⌊before⌋y your enemies; and your haters shall rule over you, and you shall flee away, butz there shall not be ⌊anybody who is pursuing⌋a you.

18 “ ‘And if in spite of these things you do not listen to me, thenb I will continue to discipline you seven times for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your strength; and I will make your heaven like ironc and your land like copper. 20 And your strength shall be consumed ⌊in vain⌋;d and your land shall not give its produce, and the land’s trees shall not give their fruit.

21 “ ‘And if you go against me in hostility and you are not willing to listen to me, thene I will add a plague onto you seven times according to your sins. 22 And I will send ⌊wild animals⌋f out among you, and they shall make you childless, and they shall cut down your domestic animals, and they shall make you fewer; and your roads shall be desolate.

23 “ ‘And if you do not accept correction fromg me through these things, buth you go against me in hostility, 24 theni I myselfj will also go against you in hostility, and I myselfk also will strike you seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring upon you a sword that seeks vengeance for the covenant, and you shall be gathered to your cities; and I will send a plague in your midst, and you shall be given into the hand of an enemy. 26 At my breaking the ⌊supply⌋l of breadm for you, thenn ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall return your bread by weight; and you shall eat it, and you shall not be satisfied.
