Leviticus 26:21-26

New International Reader's Version

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 those things, suppose you still do not accept my warnings. And suppose you continue to be my enemy. ²⁴ Then I myself will be your enemy. I will make you suffer again and again for your sins. ²⁵ I will send war against you to punish you for breaking my covenant. When you go back into your cities, I will send a plague among you. You will be handed over to your enemies. ²⁶ I will cut off your supply of bread. Ten women will need only one oven to bake your bread. They will weigh out the bread piece by piece. Even when you eat all of it, it will not be enough to satisfy you.
