Leviticus 26:18 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:18

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me
If such corrections by diseases of body, and by giving them up into the hands of their enemies, should be ineffectual to reform them, and bring them to obedience to the statutes and commandments of God, but should continue in their disobedience to him, and rebellion against him: then I will punish you seven times more for your sins;
that is, abundantly more, with sorer punishments, and these more frequently repeated.

Leviticus 26:18 In-Context

16 then I will do the following to you: I will bring horrific things: wasting diseases and fevers that make the eyes fail and drain life away. You will plant seed for no reason because your enemies will eat the food.

17 I will turn my face against you: you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you; and you will run away even when no one is chasing you.

18 If, despite all that, you still do not obey me, I will punish you for your sins seven more times:

19 I will destroy your prideful power. I will turn your sky to iron and your land to bronze

20 so that your strength will be spent for no reason: your land will not produce its yield, and the trees of the land won't produce their fruit.
