11. I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you.
12. And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.
13. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should no more be slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect [as free men].
14. But if you will not hearken to Me and will not do all these commandments,
15. And if you spurn and despise My statutes, and if your soul despises and rejects My ordinances, so that you will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16. I will do this: I will appoint over you [sudden] terror (trembling, trouble), even consumption and fever that consume and waste the eyes and make the [physical] life pine away. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17. I [the Lord] will set My face against you and you shall be defeated and slain before your enemies; they who hate you shall rule over you; you shall flee when no one pursues you. [I Sam. 4:10; 31:1.]
18. And if in spite of all this you still will not listen and be obedient to Me, then I will chastise and discipline you seven times more for your sins.
19. And I will break and humble your pride in your power, and I will make your heavens as iron [yielding no answer, no blessing, no rain] and your earth [as sterile] as brass. [I Kings 17:1.]
20. And your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21. If you walk contrary to Me and will not heed Me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.
