22. I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie deserted.
23. 'And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,
24. then I will act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins.
25. I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, so that you shall be delivered into enemy hands.
26. When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread in rationed amounts, so that you will eat and not be satisfied.
27. 'Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me,
28. then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.
29. Further, you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.
30. I then will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and heap your remains on the remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you.
31. I will lay waste your cities as well and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your soothing aromas.
32. I will make the land desolate so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it.
33. You, however, I will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.
34. 'Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.
35. All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it.
36. As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee as though from the sword, and they will fall.
37. They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand up before your enemies.
38. But you will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will consume you.
