But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;15
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soulabhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:16
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.
17
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slainbefore your enemies : they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven timesmore for your sins.19
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:20
And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the landyield their fruits.21
And if ye walkcontrarya unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven timesmoreplagues upon you according to your sins.22
I will also sendwildbeasts 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 .
23
And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walkcontrary unto me;
24
Then will I also walkcontrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.25
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered togetherwithin your cities, I will send the pestilenceamong you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy .
26
And when I have broken the staff of your bread,tenwomen shall bake your bread in oneoven, and they shall deliver you your breadagain by weight: and ye shall eat , and not be satisfied .
27
And if ye will not for all thishearken unto me, but walkcontrary unto me;
28
Then I will walkcontrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.29
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat .
30
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.
31
And I will make your citieswaste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation , and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.32
And I will bring the land into desolation : and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33

Then shall the landenjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate , and ye be in your enemies ' land; even then shall the landrest , and enjoy her sabbaths.35
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest ; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36
And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ; and the sound of a shakenbleaf shall chase them; and they shall flee , as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth .
37
And they shall fallone upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall have no power to standbefore your enemies .
38
And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up .
39
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies ' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40
If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walkedcontrary unto me;
41
And that I also have walkedcontrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies ; if then their uncircumcisedhearts be humbled , and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:42
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember ; and I will remember the land.43
The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity:because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soulabhorred my statutes.44
