19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:
20. Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.
21. If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:
22. And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.
23. And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
24. I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.
25. And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,
26. After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.
27. But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:
28. I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
29. So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.
30. I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31. Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.
32. And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.
33. And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.
