22. I will send wild animals against you that will deprive you of your children, ravage your livestock, and reduce your numbers until your roads are deserted.
23. “If in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but act with hostility toward Me,
24. then I will act with hostility toward you; I also will strike you seven times for your sins.
25. I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a pestilence among you, and you will be delivered into enemy hands.
26. When I cut off your supply of bread, 10 women will bake your bread in a single oven and ration out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
27. “And if in spite of this you do not obey Me but act with hostility toward Me,
28. I will act with furious hostility toward you; I will also discipline you seven times for your sins.
29. You will eat the flesh of your sons; you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
30. I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your dead bodies on the lifeless bodies of your idols; I will reject you.
31. I will reduce your cities to ruins and devastate your sanctuaries. I will not smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
32. I also will devastate the land, so that your enemies who come to live there will be appalled by it.
33. But I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword to chase after you. So your land will become desolate, and your cities will become ruins.
34. “Then the land will make up for its Sabbath years during the time it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and make up for its Sabbaths.
35. As long as it lies desolate, it will have the rest it did not have during your Sabbaths when you lived there.
36. “I will put anxiety in the hearts of those of you who survive in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a wind-driven leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as one flees from a sword, and fall though no one is pursuing them.
37. They will stumble over one another as if fleeing from a sword though no one is pursuing them. You will not be able to stand against your enemies.
38. You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.
39. Those who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away because of their sin; they will also waste away because of their fathers’ sins along with theirs.
