Leviticus 26:28-36 New Living Translation (NLT)

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.

31. I will make your cities desolate and destroy your places of pagan worship. I will take no pleasure in your offerings that should be a pleasing aroma to me.

32. Yes, I myself will devastate your land, and your enemies who come to occupy it will be appalled at what they see.

33. I will scatter you among the nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.

34. Then at last the land will enjoy its neglected Sabbath years as it lies desolate while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. Then the land will finally rest and enjoy the Sabbaths it missed.

35. As long as the land lies in ruins, it will enjoy the rest you never allowed it to take every seventh year while you lived in it.

36. “And for those of you who survive, I will demoralize you in the land of your enemies. You will live in such fear that the sound of a leaf driven by the wind will send you fleeing. You will run as though fleeing from a sword, and you will fall even when no one pursues you.
