13. ‘I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from being their slaves. And I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.
14. ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not do all these commands,
15. and if you reject My laws, or if your being loathes My right-rulings, so that you do not do all My commands, but break My covenant,
16. I also do this to you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm over you, wasting disease and inflammation, destroying the eyes, and consuming the life. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17. ‘And I shall set My face against you, and you shall be smitten before your enemies. And those who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.
18. ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I shall punish you seven times more for your sins.
19. ‘And I shall break the pride of your power, and shall make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.
20. ‘And your strength shall be spent in vain and your land not yield its crops, nor the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21. ‘And if you walk contrary to Me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins,
22. and send wild beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I shall cut off your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways shall be deserted.
23. ‘And if you are not instructed by Me by these, but walk contrary to Me,
24. then I also shall walk contrary to you, and I Myself shall smite you seven times for your sins.
25. ‘And I shall bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of My covenant, and you shall gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among you, and you shall be given into the hand of the enemy.
26. ‘When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back to you your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.
27. ‘And if in spite of this, you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,
28. then I shall walk contrary to you in wrath. And I Myself shall punish you seven times for your sins.
29. ‘And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters.
