16. If you do that, I will cause terrible things to happen to you. I will cause you to have disease and fever. They will destroy your eyes and kill you. You will not have success when you plant your seed. And your enemy will eat your crops.
17. I will be against you, and your enemies will defeat you. These enemies hate you. And they will rule over you. You will run away even when no one is chasing you.
18. “‘If you still do not obey me, I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19. And I will also break the great cities that make you proud. The skies will not give rain. The earth will not produce crops.
20. You will work hard, but it will not help. Your land will not grow any crops. Your trees will not give their fruit.
