22. I will send dangerous animals among you, and they will kill your children, destroy your livestock, and leave so few of you that your roads will be deserted.
23. “If after all this punishment you still do not listen to me, but continue to defy me,
24. then I will turn on you and punish you seven times harder than before.
25. I will bring war on you to punish you for breaking our covenant, and if you gather in your cities for safety, I will send incurable diseases among you, and you will be forced to surrender to your enemies.
26. I will cut off your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake all the bread they have. They will ration it out, and when you have eaten it all, you will still be hungry.
27. “If after all this you still continue to defy me and refuse to obey me,
28. then in my anger I will turn on you and again make your punishment seven times worse than before.
