03:026:016 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you
terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes,
and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your
enemies shall eat it.
03:026:017 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain
before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye
shall flee when none pursueth you.
03:026:018 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
will punish you seven times more for your sins.
03:026:019 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make
your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
03:026:020 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land
shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield
their fruits.
03:026:021 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto
me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your
sins.
03:026:022 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you
of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number;
and your high ways shall be desolate.
03:026:023 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but
will walk contrary unto me;
03:026:024 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you
yet seven times for your sins.
03:026:025 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the
quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your
cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered
into the hand of the enemy.
03:026:026 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women
shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your
bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
03:026:027 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk
contrary unto me;
03:026:028 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even
I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
03:026:029 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of
your daughters shall ye eat.
03:026:030 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your
images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you.
03:026:031 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your
sweet odours.
03:026:032 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies
which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
03:026:033 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out
a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities
waste.
03:026:034 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
03:026:035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did
not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
