Leviticus 26:21 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:21

And if ye walk contrary unto me
To his mind and will, to his laws, commands, and ordinances, showing no regard unto them by a walk and conversation agreeably to them, but neglecting and breaking them continually; or by chance, as the Targum of Jonathan, not with any intention and design to obey the Lord, and to honour and glorify him, but in a careless and indifferent manner, having no regard to the law of God, only now and then, as it happens, act according to it, but having no concern for the honour and glory of God: and will not hearken unto me;
to his voice in his laws and his precepts, or by his prophets, exhorting them to obedience to them: I will bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your
sins;
greater and sorer punishments still, and these more frequently repeated, and in proportion to their transgressions of his righteous laws.

Leviticus 26:21 In-Context

19 I will break down your stubborn pride. I will make the sky above you like iron, and it will not rain. I will make the ground under you like bronze, and you will not be able to farm it.

20 You will work with all of your strength, but it will not do you any good. That is because your soil will not produce any crops. The trees of the land will not bear any fruit.

21 " 'Suppose you continue to be my enemy. And suppose you still refuse to listen to me. Then I will multiply your troubles many times because of your sins.

22 I will send wild animals against you. They will kill your children. They will destroy your cattle. There will be so few of you left that your roads will be deserted.

23 " 'After all of those things, suppose you still do not accept my warnings. And suppose you continue to be my enemy.
