18. Then, if you still refuse to obey me, I will punish you seven times for each of your sins,
19. until your pride is completely crushed. I will hold back the rain, so the sky above you will be like iron, and the ground beneath your feet will be like copper.
20. All your hard work will be for nothing—and there will be no harvest of grain or fruit.
21. If you keep rebelling against me, I'll punish you seven times worse, just as your sins deserve!
22. I'll send wild animals to attack you, and they will gobble up your children and livestock. So few of you will be left that your roads will be deserted.
23. If you remain my enemies after this,
24. I'll remain your enemy and punish you even worse.
25. War will break out because you broke our agreement, and if you escape to your walled cities, I'll punish you with horrible diseases, and you will be captured by your enemies.
26. You will have such a shortage of bread, that ten women will be able to bake their bread in the same oven. Each of you will get only a few crumbs, and you will go hungry.
