13. I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
14. But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,
15. If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
16. I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.
17. I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.
18. But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,
19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:
20. Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.
21. If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:
22. And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.
23. And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
24. I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.
25. And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,
