27. Then if you don't stop rebelling,
28. I'll really get furious and punish you terribly for your sins!
29. In fact, you will be so desperate for food that you will eat your own children.
30. I'll destroy your shrines and tear down your incense altars, leaving your dead bodies piled on top of your idols. And you will be disgusting to me.
31. I'll wipe out your towns and your places of worship and will no longer be pleased with the smell of your sacrifices.
32. Your land will become so desolate that even your enemies who settle there will be shocked when they see it.
33. After I destroy your towns and ruin your land with war, I'll scatter you among the nations.
34-35. While you are prisoners in foreign lands, your own land will enjoy years of rest and refreshment, as it should have done each seventh year when you lived there.
36-37. In the land of your enemies, you will tremble at the rustle of a leaf, as though it were a sword. And you will become so weak that you will stumble and fall over each other, even when no one is chasing you.
