18. “But if after these things you will not obey Me, I will proceed to discipline you seven times for your sins.
19. I will break down your strong pride. I will make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

21. “If you act with hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times for your sins.
