24. I, too, will continue to be hostile to you and I, for my part, will smite you for your sins sevenfold.
25. I will bring against you the sword, the avenger of my covenant. Though you then huddle together in your cities, I will send pestilence among you, till you are delivered to the enemy.
26. When I break your staff of bread, ten women will need but one oven for baking your bread, and they shall dole it out to you by weight; and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied.
27. If, despite all this, you disobey and continue hostile to me,
28. I will continue in my hostile rage toward you, and I myself will discipline you for your sins sevenfold,
29. till you begin to eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
30. I will demolish your high places, overthrow your incense stands, and cast your corpses upon the corpses of your idols. In my loathing of you,
31. I will lay waste your cities and desolate your sanctuaries, refusing your sweet-smelling offerings.
32. So devastated will I leave the land that your enemies who come to live there will stand aghast at the sight of it.
33. And you I will scatter among the nations at the point of my drawn sword, leaving your countryside desolate and your cities deserted.
