Reject His Statutes and He Will Strike You
14 ‘(A)But if you do not obey Me and do not do all these commandments, 15 if, instead, you (B)reject My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments so as not to do all My commandments and so (C)break My covenant, 16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a (D)sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the (E)soul to pine away; also, (F)you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. 17 And I will [a]set My face against you so that you will be [b]defeated before your enemies; and (G)those who hate you will have dominion over you, and (H)you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18 If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will discipline you (I)seven times more for your sins. 19 I will also (J)break down your pride of strength; I will also give your sky over to become like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 (K)And your power will be spent uselessly, for your land will not give forth its produce and the trees of the land will not give forth their fruit.
21 ‘If then, you (L)walk in hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you (M)seven times according to your sins. 22 (N)And I will send out among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and cut down your cattle and reduce your number so that (O)your roads lie desolate.
23 ‘(P)And if by these things you do not accept My discipline, but walk in hostility against Me, 24 then I will (Q)walk in hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you (R)seven times for your sins. 25 I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute (S)vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send (T)pestilence among you so that you shall be given over into enemy hands. 26 (U)When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread by rationed weight so that you will (V)eat and not become full.

Penalties of Disobedience
14 ‘(A)But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments, 15 if, instead, you (B)reject My statutes, and if your soul loathes My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, but rather to (C)break My covenant, 16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will [a]summon a (D)sudden terror against you, consumption and fever that will make the eyes fail and the (E)soul languish; also, (F)you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it. 17 And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and (G)those who hate you will rule over you, and (H)you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18 If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you (I)seven times more for your sins. 19 I will also (J)break down your pride of power; and I will make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 (K)Your strength will be consumed uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
21 ‘Yet if you [b](L)show hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you (M)seven times according to your sins. 22 (N)I will also let loose among you the animals of the field, which will deprive you of your children and eliminate your cattle, and reduce your number so that (O)your roads become deserted.
23 ‘(P)And if by these things you do not learn your lesson regarding Me, but you show hostility toward Me, 24 then I in turn will (Q)show hostility toward you; and I, even I, will strike you (R)seven times for your sins. 25 I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute (S)vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send a (T)plague among you, so that you will be handed over to the enemy. 26 (U)When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread [c]in rationed amounts, so that you will (V)eat and not be satisfied.

Punishment for Disobedience
14 “‘But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,(A) 15 and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws(B) and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,(C) 16 then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever(D) that will destroy your sight and sap your strength.(E) You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.(F) 17 I will set my face(G) against you so that you will be defeated(H) by your enemies;(I) those who hate you will rule over you,(J) and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.(K)
18 “‘If after all this you will not listen to me,(L) I will punish(M) you for your sins seven times over.(N) 19 I will break down your stubborn pride(O) and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like bronze.(P) 20 Your strength will be spent in vain,(Q) because your soil will not yield its crops, nor will the trees of your land yield their fruit.(R)
21 “‘If you remain hostile(S) toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over,(T) as your sins deserve. 22 I will send wild animals(U) against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few(V) in number that your roads will be deserted.(W)
23 “‘If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction(X) but continue to be hostile toward me, 24 I myself will be hostile(Y) toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over. 25 And I will bring the sword(Z) on you to avenge(AA) the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague(AB) among you, and you will be given into enemy hands. 26 When I cut off your supply of bread,(AC) ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.
