¹⁴ ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

¹⁵ and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

¹⁶ I also will do this to you:

I will even appoint terror over you, ^(A)wasting disease and fever which shall ^(B)consume the eyes and ^(C)cause sorrow of heart.

And ^(D)you shall sow your seed ^[a]in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷ I will ^[b]set ^(E)My face against you, and ^(F)you shall be defeated by your enemies.

^(G)Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall ^(H)flee when no one pursues you.

¹⁸ ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you ^(I)seven times more for your sins.

¹⁹ I will ^(J)break the pride of your power;

I ^(K)will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

²⁰ And your ^(L)strength shall be spent in vain;

for your ^(M)land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

²¹ ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

^22 (N)I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number;

and ^(O)your highways shall be desolate.

²³ ‘And if ^(P)by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

^24 (Q)then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

²⁵ And ^(R)I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant;

when you are gathered together within your cities ^(S)I will send pestilence among you;

and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

^26 (T)When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, ^(U)and you shall eat and not be satisfied.
