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 I will punish you. I will bring sudden terrors upon you—wasting diseases and burning fevers that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your enemies will eat them.

17 I will turn against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will run even when no one is chasing you!

18 “And if, in spite of all this, you still disobey me, I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

19 I will break your proud spirit by making the skies as unyielding as iron and the earth as hard as bronze.

20 All your work will be for nothing, for your land will yield no crops, and your trees will bear no fruit.
