19. I will break down your strong pride. I will make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,
20. and your strength will be used up for nothing. Your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
21. “If you act with hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times for your sins.
22. I will send wild animals against you that will deprive you of your children, ravage your livestock, and reduce your numbers until your roads are deserted.
23. “If in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but act with hostility toward Me,
24. then I will act with hostility toward you; I also will strike you seven times for your sins.
25. I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a pestilence among you, and you will be delivered into enemy hands.
26. When I cut off your supply of bread, 10 women will bake your bread in a single oven and ration out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
