23. “And if you fail to learn the lesson and continue your hostility toward me,
24. then I myself will be hostile toward you. I will personally strike you with calamity seven times over for your sins.
25. I will send armies against you to carry out the curse of the covenant you have broken. When you run to your towns for safety, I will send a plague to destroy you there, and you will be handed over to your enemies.
26. I will destroy your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake bread for their families. They will ration your food by weight, and though you have food to eat, you will not be satisfied.
27. “If in spite of all this you still refuse to listen and still remain hostile toward me,
28. then I will give full vent to my hostility. I myself will punish you seven times over for your sins.
29. Then you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
30. I will destroy your pagan shrines and knock down your places of worship. I will leave your lifeless corpses piled on top of your lifeless idols, and I will despise you.
