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.

²³“ ‘And if you do not accept correction from^g me through these things, but^h you go against me in hostility, ²⁴thenⁱ I myself^j will also go against you in hostility, and I myself^k also will strike you seven times for your sins. ²⁵And 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. ²⁶At my breaking the supply^l of bread^m 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.

²⁷“ ‘And if through this you do not listen to me and you go against me in hostility, ²⁸then^o I will go against you in hostile anger, and also^p I myself^q will discipline you seven times for your sins.
