21. If then you continue hostile, unwilling to obey me, I will multiply my blows sevenfold, as your sins deserve.
22. I will unleash wild beasts against you, to rob you of your children and wipe out your livestock, till your population dwindles away and your roads become deserted.
23. If, with all this, you still do not accept my discipline and continue hostile to me,
24. I, too, will continue to be hostile to you and I, for my part, will smite you for your sins sevenfold.
25. I will bring against you the sword, the avenger of my covenant. Though you then huddle together in your cities, I will send pestilence among you, till you are delivered to the enemy.
26. When I break your staff of bread, ten women will need but one oven for baking your bread, and they shall dole it out to you by weight; and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied.
27. If, despite all this, you disobey and continue hostile to me,
28. I will continue in my hostile rage toward you, and I myself will discipline you for your sins sevenfold,
