13. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt’s land—who brought you out from being Egypt’s slaves. I broke your bonds and made you stand up straight.
14. But if you do not obey me and do not carry out all these commands—
15. if you reject my rules and despise my regulations, not doing all my commands and breaking my covenant—
16. then I will do the following to you:I will bring horrific things: wasting diseases and fevers that make the eyes fail and drain life away.You will plant seed for no reason because your enemies will eat the food.
17. I will turn my face against you: you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you; and you will run away even when no one is chasing you.
18. If, despite all that, you still do not obey me, I will punish you for your sins seven more times:
19. I will destroy your prideful power. I will turn your sky to iron and your land to bronze
