Leviticus 26 — Context

16

This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

17

And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

18

And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

19

And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

20

And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

21

And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

22

I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.
