¹⁶I in turn^v will do this to you: then^w 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. ¹⁷And 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, but^z there shall not be anybody who is pursuing^a you.

¹⁸“ ‘And if in spite of these things you do not listen to me, then^b I will continue to discipline you seven times for your sins. ¹⁹And I will break the pride of your strength; and I will make your heaven like iron^c and your land like copper. ²⁰And 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, then^e I will add a plague onto you seven times according to your sins. ²²And 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.
